Collateral Management is the service offering the highest level of security to financiers. In a Collateral Management agreement, inventory owners instruct CMS to take legal and physical control of the storage facility holding their goods. After an inspection of the cargo, CMS issues a warehouse receipt covering the stocks, usually in the name of a lender, whereby CMS commits not to release the goods without a valid release order from the lender. The goods thus become eligible collateral security in the context of a loan. In addition, the service ensures that lenders can keep track of loans in place, on a real-time basis.
CMS offers Collateral Management services in the following countries:
- South America (Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Ecuador)
- Black Sea & Mediterranean (Russia, Turkey, Egypt)
- Dubai
