M1 NXT ITFS and YES BANK Team Up to Boost Cross-Border Trade Finance

Indian exporters just got a powerful new ally. M1 NXT ITFS, an IFSCA-authorised International Trade Financing Services platform based at GIFT City, has partnered with YES BANK to offer cross-border factoring solutions for Indian exporters. The partnership is already live — YES BANK has completed its first transaction under the tie-up, financing a Hyderabad-based engineering component manufacturer exporting goods to a Fortune 500 buyer across the USA and Mexico.

The solution reduces exporters’ dependence on Documentary Letters of Credit, enabling faster access to working capital without requiring overseas buyers to set up such instruments — a major friction point in international trade today.

Why This Partnership Matters for Indian Exporters

Cross-border trade finance has long been inaccessible for India’s smaller exporters, buried under complex documentation and slow processes. This partnership directly targets that gap. Through M1 NXT’s digital platform, exporters can now access without-recourse export factoring — meaning they get paid faster while shifting the risk of buyer default or delayed payment away from themselves.

With over 1,500 corporate anchors already registered on M1xchange’s TReDS platform, the potential scale of this programme is significant. YES BANK’s Ajay Rajan noted the collaboration aligns squarely with the government’s ambition of making India a global powerhouse in trade finance — a goal backed by RBI’s push for digital trade finance infrastructure.
