Bazel is a new, tech-enabled lending platform for physical commodity transactions
We’re making a trillion dollar market work for investors and SME exporters & traders
Investors and exporters face major challenges in the commodities lending market
Investors looking to invest in commodities lack access to the market, leaving them unable to finance the large physical flows of commodities around the world.
At the same time, exporters (farms, cooperatives) and traders have limited access to finance and need alternative sources of funding, with funding terms that incentivise sustainable practices.
The solution
