One marketplace. Two clear paths.
Whether you are managing a vessel or allocating capital, Bunkr makes the next step, the asset, and the rules easier to understand.
- One KYB record that supports repeat financing
- Terms shown clearly before an offering opens
- Capital released when the offering is funded
- KYC-gated participation and transfer controls
- Interest escrowed at token creation
- Principal and interest settled in USDC at claim
From a verified invoice to settlement.
The workflow is deliberately simple. Verification happens up front, terms are visible before funding, and settlement follows the invoice.
Verify the parties and receivable
The shipper completes KYB. The receivable is reviewed before it can be offered to the marketplace.
Open a defined financing opportunity
Eligible investors can review the term, settlement path, and transfer rules before participating.
Settle when the invoice is paid
When the cargo customer pays, the pool settles and investors can claim principal plus interest in USDC.
Control belongs with the asset.
Trade finance needs more than a record of ownership. Bunkr puts eligibility and transfer rules into each permissioned asset so the marketplace can enforce its own boundaries.
Join waitlist- Identity-gated ownership
- Both sides of a transfer are checked against Bunkr's identity registry. Unverified wallets cannot receive the asset.
- Permissions in the asset
- SEP-57 compliant assets carry the marketplace rules, rather than relying on an off-chain promise to enforce them.
- Defined settlement currency
- Opportunities settle in USDC, so the value being financed and the value being claimed are easy to follow.
- A visible maturity
- Each receivable has a stated invoice term. Investors know the expected cycle before they participate.
Recovery is part of the model, not an afterthought.
Smart contracts handle the asset rules. When a customer is late, a professional originator handles the human work of follow-up, resolution, and recovery.
Early follow-up
A missed due date starts with a clear reminder and documented outreach.
Managed resolution
Where a payment needs attention, an originator coordinates the commercial and administrative work.
Escalation when needed
Formal collection and legal action are last-resort paths that are considered before an opportunity is funded.
Every completed cycle creates useful history.
A settled financing leaves a record that can help responsible shipping businesses build credibility over time. The goal is a marketplace where reliable repayment leads to better access to capital.
Better financing starts with a better record of the work that has already been done.
Questions, answered plainly.
A concise overview of how Bunkr frames assets, eligibility, and settlement.
What is being financed?
Bunkr is designed for verified freight receivables. Each opportunity represents a specific invoice and its agreed payment term.
Who can use the marketplace?
Shipping businesses complete KYB to raise capital. Investors complete KYC before they can participate in or receive permissioned assets.
How are assets controlled after purchase?
Bunkr uses identity-gated, SEP-57 compliant assets. Transfers to a wallet without the required verification revert on-chain.
What happens if an invoice is late?
Payment follow-up is handled through a staged recovery process. The originator manages verification, monitoring, and recovery work for each financing.
