The story

Founded in 2015 as a trade document checking engine for banks and corporates, Traydstream initially focused on AI-powered automation of letter-of-credit and trade finance document compliance. Over time the platform evolved from pure document verification (TraydCheck) into a broader trade finance operating system, adding analytics (TraydAnalytics), corporate-bank connectivity (TraydConnect), compliance (TraydGuard), and most recently embedded FX (TraydFX) and trade asset distribution/financing (TraydFund, TraydAccess) — effectively embedding financial products directly into the trade documentation workflow.
