Peruvian lender Banco Interamericano de Finanzas has selected Finastra to modernize its trade finance operations, the bank announced today. BanBif will implement Finastra’s Trade Innovation and Corporate Channels platforms as part of a comprehensive technology overhaul aimed at digitizing its trade finance services.
The upgrade positions BanBif to streamline cross-border transaction processing and enhance client access to trade finance solutions in Peru’s growing international commerce sector. The move comes as Latin American banks increasingly prioritize digital transformation to compete with fintech challengers and meet rising corporate client expectations for faster, more transparent trade services.
Peru’s trade finance market has expanded significantly alongside the country’s export growth in mining and agriculture, creating pressure on traditional banks to upgrade legacy systems. BanBif’s technology investment signals confidence in continued trade volume growth and the need for scalable digital infrastructure.
