Banco Cordillera Atlántica
Banco Cordillera Atlántica is the correspondent for the Panama City regional hub and the settlement bank for the Commercial Finance division's trade finance book in Latin America. IGUAKO opened accounts in 2022 when the hub was formed. The bank confirms letters of credit, discounts export receivables and holds collateral accounts for 14 trade facilities.
The relationship
Trade finance for pharmaceutical ingredients and animal-health products moving between Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean requires a bank that knows the ports and the paper. Cordillera Atlántica confirms documents within one business day and pays exporters in either US dollars or local currency. Clients get financed goods in transit without waiting on a distant confirming bank.
