International, regional and local banks are eligible to join the Trade Finance Facilitation Program (TFFP) as Confirming Banks. As a Confirming Bank, your bank is in a key position to support exports to countries where your trade lines are limited.

To participate as a Confirming Bank in the Program, interested parties are required to sign the appropriate legal documentation.

There are no costs to join the Program. Fees will be charged only when ADB issues a guarantee to cover a transaction of an eligible Issuing Bank. The requesting party will shoulder the fees.
