Banking Commission
The commission is committed to advancing and modernizing the banking sector, with a strong focus on trade, supply chain, and export finance.
A key objective is to strengthen the ICC Trade Register as the leading source of market intelligence for trade finance products, benefiting banks, investors, and regulators. The commission advocates for fair capital treatment of trade finance assets in major legislative initiatives and drive the digitization of ICC trade finance rules, including the creation of standardized APIs.
To serve as a global forum and rule-making body for banks worldwide, with particular focus on the financing of international trade; and to help policymakers and standard setters create a regulatory framework that facilitates trade finance throughout the world.
Our work also involves updating financial crime and risk policies for trade finance transactions, revising ICC’s guidelines for processing letter-of-credit transactions ("ISBP"), and offering expert insights on ICC banking rules through opinions and technical advisory briefings.
The Norwegian commission consists of representatives from DNB, SpareBank 1, Nordea, SEB, Handelsbanken, Swedbank, and Danske Bank. The commission meets once every quarter to hold joint meetings. In addition, the Trade and Finance Conference, organized by ICC Norway, takes place once a year.
