The numbers behind global trade fraud... 📌 $485 billion lost to trade fraud and goods losses globally every year 📌 79% of organisations that faced payment fraud attempts in 2025 📌 70% of SMEs avoid new trading partners due to trust risk 📌 $2.5 trillion the global trade finance gap (half of SME applications are rejected) These aren't abstract risks. They're happening to businesses like yours, right now. Kutana exists to change these numbers, one protected deal at a time. Trade Secure bundles escrow, cargo insurance, and counterparty fraud checks into a single product, so SMEs can trade with anyone, anywhere, safely. If you're serious about growing your cross-border trade, let's talk. #TradeStats #FraudPrevention #SMEFinance #TradeFinance #GlobalBusiness

$32 trillion in goods are traded globally every year. And almost none of it has real end-to-end protection. Buyers fear sending money before goods arrive. Sellers fear shipping before payment clears. Banks won't lend against deals they can't verify. Up to 70% of SMEs refuse to trade with new counterparties because the risk is simply too high. That's not a payments problem. That's a trust problem. And trust, at scale, has never been solved. Until now. Kutana's Trade Secure brings together escrow, insurance, and counterparty verification in a single embedded product. Powered by stablecoins, smart contracts, and AI. We started by solving this in some of the world's toughest markets. Now we're building the infrastructure for safe trade everywhere. Every deal. Protected. Transparent. Financeable. #GlobalTrade #TradeFinance #Fintech #TrustInTrade #SME

"We only trade with people we already know." We hear this all the time from SME owners. And honestly? It makes complete sense. Trading with strangers is risky. So businesses stick to familiar partners, repeat the same relationships, and leave growth and revenue on the table. That's the problem we're solving. Trade Secure verifies your counterparty before funds or goods move. It holds payment in escrow until delivery conditions are met. It insures your cargo in transit. So you don't have to know someone to trade safely with them. You just have to use the right infrastructure. Businesses on Kutana are opening new supplier and buyer relationships across borders with confidence.

What actually happens when a trade deal goes wrong? Most SMEs don't find out how exposed they are until it's too late. Here's the typical scenario: → You wire payment upfront to secure the order → Goods arrive late, damaged, or not at all → You chase the supplier and get no response → You contact your bank and there is nothing they can do → You absorb the loss and move on It doesn't have to work this way. Trade Secure by Kutana triple-locks every deal: 🔒 Lock 1 - Escrow holds your payment until delivery conditions are met 🛡️ Lock 2 - Cargo insurance covers loss, damage or non-delivery ✅ Lock 3 - Fraud checks verify your counterparty before anything moves One product. Both sides protected. Ready to trade with confidence? #TradeSecure #SME #Escrow #CargoInsurance #BusinessPayments

79% of businesses experienced payment fraud attempts last year... Yet most SMEs are still sending money to new suppliers they've never met, in countries they've never visited, on nothing more than online communications. The problem isn't the payment itself. The problem is trust. 1️⃣ Does your buyer actually exist? 2️⃣ Will the goods arrive as described? 3️⃣ What happens if they don't? This is the hidden cost that doesn't show up in your P&L until it's too late. At Kutana, we built Trade Secure specifically for this: digital escrow + cargo insurance + counterparty verification, all in one place. So your money only moves when your goods do. If you're trading across borders (or even domestically), we'd love to show you how it works. 👇 #GlobalTrade #SME #TradeFinance #CrossBorderPayments #TradeSecurity
