The System Powering Africa’s Most Efficient Trade Finance Teams

Built on 20+ Years of Trade Finance Experience

Kachasi is an end-to-end trade finance software built to automate
the full lifecycle of international and local trade finance operations, from
initiation to settlement, compliance, and reporting.

Kachasi is the result of over two decades of hands-on experience implementing, supporting, and customizing international trade finance systems for banks across Africa. We saw what worked, we saw what didn’t, and built what trade finance bankers actually need.

The result is a platform that is intuitive, deeply configurable, and regulatory-ready, light years ahead in functionality and usability.
