About MITECH (www.mitsa.ch), the natural successor of MIT.
As of January 2020, MIT Make Intuitive Tech SA (MITECH) has taken over the operations of MIT Micro Informatique & Technologies SA (MIT) capitalizing on more than 35 years of experience in Trade Finance automation. MITECH is a swiss based Fintech specialized in the development of Trade Finance software solutions for Bankers, such as the famous CREDOC installed in Prestigious Banks in Switzerland, the European market, and the Middle East.

It was designed using a modern “Service oriented” architecture embedding best of breed “Workflow Engine”, “Rules Engine”, and “Business Activity monitoring” components. CREDOC 5G is truly “agnostic” in terms of underlying Operating System, Application Server, and Database. CREDOC 5G has already been licensed by three financial institutions including Bankmed (Suisse) SA.

KOMGO and MITECH formally announce extended collaboration to provide end-to-end workflows in two main areas.
The first being an integration of KOMGO’s system TRAKK with MITECH’s TRAC middle-office Collateral Management system. TRAKK is a unique blockchain system that allows users to create an immutable document to guard against fraud and falsification. Thanks to this integration, MITECH’s TRAC system will automatically verify the integrity of the Credit Facilities documents stamped in KOMGO’s system and display the result in TRAC.
The second being a seamless two-way communication between MITECH’s latest back-end Trade Finance solution CREDOC 5G and KOMGO’s multi-bank portal named KONSOLE. Corporate clients will be able to prepare and send their requests to issue Letters of Credit and Guarantees in KOMGO’s KONSOLE, which will channel these requests directly into CREDOC 5G, ensuring end-to-end Straight Through Processing.
Souleïma Baddi, CEO at KOMGO argues that “the increased interoperability and connectivity of the KOMGO and MITECH product lines will provide a win/win combination to the Trade Finance industry, especially in Geneva and Singapore where both Companies are very active”.
“Ensuring fast, secure and reliable data transmission between different actors of the Trade Finance Supply Chain is becoming ever essential due to the recent pandemic and fraud scandals in Trade” comments Paul Cohen Dumani, MITECH’s President, adding that “the new end-to end workflows will bring more reassurance to Trade Finance providers”.

MITECH since early January has been reorganizing all new product initiatives under MITECH Lab resources to coordinate upgrades of legacy MIT platforms, new products already in development pipeline, and the expanding alliance delivery and fulfillment.
MITECH Lab will oversee the empowerment of all MITECH solutions to address the Open Banking, FinTech, and broader market initiatives of openness and connectivity to multiple risk and compliance assets, multiple transaction platforms, and multiple payments rails. Therefore, the front office to back-office and settlement solutions, and processes from remote clients, such as SMEs, of financial institutions, will have expanded functionality and flexible technology stacks to extend connectivity while managing the full business footprint.
MITECH Lab is already well underway with rolling out new product upgrades early this year, re-engineering as well as exploration with clients of various third-party applications to integrate seamlessly into MITECH trade finance enterprise solution deployed by MITECH clients.

It was already 10 years ago that MIT successfully launched a new system to monitor Trade Commodity Finance Credit Facilities granted by Banks to International Trading Companies, and initially designed in partnership with BANQUE CANTONALE DE GENEVE (BCGE).
Ever since, MIT activities and operations have entirely been taken over by MITECH as part of a family transition. Nevertheless, the TRAC success story continues.
Today, prestigious financial institutions operate the system in various locations including Geneva, Zürich, Lugano, Paris, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and New York.
“We have significantly enhanced the system over the years leveraging the expertise of our Customer base” says Paul Cohen Dumani, President at MITECH, announcing the launch of a brand new Borrowing Base module, as the company continues to invest in the development of this strategic product.
Paul Cohen Dumani adds that “prior to the launch of this module, we used to treat Borrowing Base in a transactional finance framework. This worked perfectly for Banks dealing with large volumes of Transactional Commodity Finance and lower volumes in Borrowing Base Financing”. Thanks to the new module designed with Consultants specialized in Trade Commodity Finance, TRAC can support most efficiently complex bilateral to multilateral Borrowing base structures.
“Of course, we are continually looking at new ways to improve the system”, says Michael Cohen-Dumani, MITECH’s CEO, as the Company is working closely on different areas of enhancement.
One of them being Digitization where the integration to various platforms (including DLTs) is thoroughly examined; Proof of Concepts have already begun. “With the recent scandals in Trade Finance, it is paramount we give more confidence to our Customers by integrating Digitization capabilities to our systems”, says Michael Cohen-Dumani.
