Autonomous LC Intelligence

Letters of credit in 90 seconds
not 21 days.

9 AI agents read both trading parties' documents simultaneously, check 27 UCP 600 articles, and generate a SWIFT MT700-format letter of credit — while a bank officer is still opening the first PDF.

The Problem

A $2.3 trillion market running on paper and fax machines

Each LC requires a bank officer to manually read up to 50 documents from 30 stakeholders, assess creditworthiness, check compliance with UCP 600, screen sanctions, and draft the LC. Only 1–2% of trade documents are handled digitally. The process hasn't changed since SWIFT launched in 1977.
