From factory floor to your warehouse — in five bank-protected steps
TradePooling coordinates suppliers, traders, banks, clearing agents and logistics on a single ledger. Your money stays with the bank at every stage until the goods reach you.
Verified suppliers list a container
Audited factories in China, Germany, UAE, USA and beyond publish a container with unit price, minimum reservation, incoterms, HS code and closing date — every listing is KYB-checked before it goes live.
Traders reserve their units
Buy only the units you need — starting from a single carton. Your allocation is locked the moment you reserve, and the container keeps filling with other verified traders until every unit is spoken for.
Container seals — full payment deadline opens
The instant the container is 100% filled, every trader is issued a fixed payment deadline (default 5 days). You pay your full balance in-country at our partner bank and upload the stamped receipt to your dashboard.
Bank verifies & holds the guarantee
Our partner bank reviews every receipt and holds the full container value in a dedicated escrow account. TradePooling never has access to the money; we only instruct the bank when the goods are ready to ship and again on confirmed delivery.
Ship, clear, and deliver
Track the container from origin port to Tema/Takoradi with live milestones. Our clearing partners handle customs and duties, and the bank only releases the guarantee to the supplier after you confirm delivery at your warehouse.
Your money stays at the bank until the goods land in your hands.
TradePooling integrates with regulated banking partners, but we are never the custodian. The bank holds your funds, verifies receipts, and releases payment only when TradePooling confirms the shipment and delivery milestones.
