The model

Simpler than a letter of credit.
Faster than a wire.

Celeris puts the payment and the paperwork on the same rails. Your counterparties keep their banks, their currencies, their way of working. What disappears is the waiting, the fees stacked at every hop and the BoL sitting in a courier bag.

Local currency in, local currency out

Your buyer pays from their own bank in their own currency. A licensed partner pays your seller in theirs, at 0.1% to 0.5% on the conversion. Neither side touches crypto.

Settlement in minutes, not weeks

Funds sit in escrow from the moment the deal is agreed. They release the instant title to the goods moves. No correspondent chain. No cut-off times. No five-day float.

Trade documents, born digital

Bills of lading and invoices are issued as electronic originals with one verifiable holder. Title passes in a click rather than a three-week courier run. Everything is signed, tracked and stored in one place.

Why it matters

Behind todays shipments is a process running on rails built for the past.

A cross-border deal still leans on correspondent banks and paper documents that physically travel the globe. Every hop adds cost, delay and risk.

2–5DAYS
Correspondent settlement

SWIFT messages pass through a chain of intermediary banks, each with cut-off times and its own fee.

3–6%
Lost to fees & FX

Fees, intermediary charges and a marked-up exchange rate stack up at every step.

$150/ DAY
Demurrage exposure

When the paper bill of lading is stuck in transit, cargo sits at port racking up demurrage and detention fees.

How it works

Follow one deal, start to settled.

Every Celeris transaction runs the same guided path on a single deal screen.

Step 1 of 6
01Setup

Create the deal

The importer/exporter opens a deal with their counterparty, goods, amount (denominated in USD) and corridor. Celeris then invites the other side and runs compliance checks on both before anything moves.

Every deal in one place.

Every open deal, its stage, its exposure and the signature it waits on. Live on one screen.

Electronic bills of lading

Paper is a liability.

The bill of lading is title to the goods. On paper it's couriered across the world, meaning it can be late, lost or forged. Celeris issues it as an MLETR-compliant electronic bill of lading: title transfers in seconds and can't be lost in the post.

Recognised under the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records as the legal equivalent of the paper original.

IG P&I approved

Issued on an eBL system approved by the International Group of P&I Clubs, so standard cargo insurance holds.

Accepted at customs

Celeris eBLs are accepted at customs across every corridor we service.

Escrow protection

Both sides protected,
by default.

In an open trade, someone always goes first, bearing most of the risk. Celeris removes that. Funds are committed to escrow up front and released only when trade conditions are verifiably met.

01
The exporter ships with certainty

The money is already locked before goods leave the port, no chasing payment after delivery.

02
The importer pays with confidence

Funds release only against a verified eBL and met conditions, not on a promise.

03
Neither party can be left exposed

Escrow is controlled by a trustless, non-custodial smart contract visible to both, owned by neither.
