TRAKK verification
Digitalization and security
As a founding bank of Konsole (a Komgo tool connecting corporates and banks in an authenticated and secured exchange around the full life-cycle of trade finance instruments), BCP has always been keen to be at the forefront of digitalization and transaction security.
To contribute to a safer and more reliable trading finance environment, BCP encourages the use of a new Komgo certification service: Trakk.
Trakk is a tool that increases the security of digital documents exchanged via email or other electronic means, by generating an audit trail of actions performed against each document.
