Amsterdam Trade Bank (ATB) has signed on to CargoDocs to streamline the creation, control and transfer of transport-related title documents – including electronic Bills of Lading – in a secure, web-based environment.

ATB will be using CargoDocs DocPrep+ to collaboratively create, review and approve paper and electronic documents, while utilizing the CargoDocs Document Exchange (DocEx) to electronically sign and legally transfer title documents, in turn facilitating enhanced financing services for its customers. The solution will be used initially for ATB’s Black Sea Soft Commodity financing, subsequently expanding to other markets across the globe.

ATB becomes the 36th bank to sign on to CargoDocs and the 4th Dutch banking group to adopt the solution.
