International trade operations still require numerous documents and papers that must be presented by customers to their banks. To meet the needs of simplification and time saving, Société Générale Cameroon now offers its customers the electronic platform Komgo.
Komgo is a tool that enables dematerialisation of the instructions sent to Société Générale Cameroon by its corporate clients, by loading directly without having to move, the documents necessary for the processing of Letters of Credit and International Guarantees.
Thus, by carrying out an import letter of credit transaction from Komgo on April 7th 2023, Société Générale Cameroon became the first financial institution in sub-Saharan Africa to have processed an international trade transaction in a totally digitalised, fast and secure way.
“The processing of our Letter of Credit (LC) in a fully digitalised way changes everything. Not having to travel to send all the documents to the bank is an incredible time-saver, and we gain in efficiency in our business. This innovation marks the beginning of a new way of interacting with our bank SG CAM on a daily basis, and we have already planned to fully integrate Komgo with our internal communication system.”
