The problem

Global trade still runs on trust you can’t see.

Every cross-border deal starts with the same questions: Who is this, really? Can they pay? Can they deliver? Today, answering them is slow, fragmented and repeated by every party at the table.

Verification takes weeks

Checking an international counterparty can drag on for weeks — longest in the emerging markets where opportunity is growing fastest.

Capacity is a guess

Whether a buyer can pay or a seller can deliver often isn’t proven until late in the process — exactly where good deals fall apart.

Everyone starts from scratch

Banks, insurers, buyers and sellers all run their own checks. No one shares the work, and the deal moves at the speed of the slowest party.

The platform

One platform, from first introduction to final signature.

Kenova brings every step of a cross-border deal into one secure, guided workflow — so you spend your time on the deal, not on chasing paperwork.

See it in action

New counterparty or a partner of twenty years — Kenova makes it easier.

You don’t need to be looking for someone new to benefit. Bring your existing relationships onto Kenova and every party gets the same verified record, the same documents and the same view of where the deal stands.

  • Verify once, reuse your credential across every deal
  • Your bank, insurer and logistics providers work the deal from the same verified record
  • Guided workflows tailored to each commodity and asset class

Who it’s for

Built for every party to the deal.

A deal is only as strong as its weakest link. Kenova gives everyone at the table the same trusted record — and makes each of their jobs easier.

Producers & traders

Verify your organization and asset provenance once, transact with pre-qualified global counterparties, and eliminate counterparty risk across high-value physical trades.

Banks & trade finance

Start from verified counterparties and confirmed capacity, and spend less time on duplicate onboarding.

Insurers

Underwrite against a clear, current picture of every party involved, not a stack of disconnected documents.

Logistics & shipping

Know exactly who you’re moving cargo for, and plug into the deal at the moment you’re needed.

Governments & agencies

Give your exporters a trusted path to global buyers, with full visibility and control within your jurisdiction.

Advisors & counsel

Work from the same verified record as your clients, with documents and status in one place.

Industries

Starting where trust matters most.

We’re beginning with the high-value, cross-border markets where a single bad counterparty can cost millions — and building workflows tailored to how each one actually trades. Tell us what you trade.

Trust & Security

Trust is our product. We protect it like one.

Every design decision starts with one question: how do we keep our users’ information safe and their deals secure?

We hold as little as possibleData minimization is built in. For Sovereign deployments, sensitive information stays in-country.
We never hold your fundsKenova doesn’t take custody of transaction money. Payments move directly between the parties and their banks.
Screened from the startSanctions and anti-money-laundering screening are part of every verification, with ongoing monitoring.
Encrypted everywhereYour information is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access limited to the people you approve.
You decide who sees whatGranular permissions let you share exactly what each party needs, when they need it.
Independently assured[SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 — status to confirm before launch]
