TTP x Sullivan Breakfast Club:Can we beat the fraudsters in our trade finance transactions?

Trade fraud is escalating, and the alarm is ringing louder than ever. Despite a heightened industry awareness of risk, recent high-profile cases have exposed persistent structural weaknesses in the global ecosystem—from duplicated documents to inconsistent data and opaque cross-border processes.

The Trade Treasury Payments (TTP) Breakfast Club, in partnership with Sullivan, invites you to an exclusive, high-level roundtable designed to move beyond simple detection and focus on true prevention.

As global payments and supply chains become more fragmented, the industry faces a critical question: Can we actually beat the fraudsters, or are we simply managing the fallout?

Why Attend?

This intimate session brings together senior figures from Sullivan, together with commercial banks, corporates, and fintech firms to examine the practical implications of fraud for governance and risk. We will explore:

• The fragmentation gap: Why the lack of coordination between regulators and regions allows fraud to proliferate.
• Structural resilience: How real-time settlement and richer data standards can alter liquidity management and control.
• Rebuilding trust: The role of collaborative, industry-wide dialogue in strengthening the architecture of money.
• Market incentives: What practical shifts are required to build “fraud-proof” supply chains and protect global capital.

About the Speakers

The discussion will be led by experts from Sullivan, recently recognised as Best Law Firm – Trade and Commodities 2026 at the TTP Awards. They will be joined by TTP’s editorial leadership for a candid, Chatham House Rule discussion among peers.
