Initial commercial screen
Product, grade, standard and edition, quantities, delivery point, title holder and current location are stated without sending documents through the public form.
How we transact
Facts first.
Terms second.
Six steps that take your enquiry through commercial review, documentation and execution, so you know at each step what has been settled and what comes next.
01 / Six steps
Six steps from your enquiry to settlement.
Confirm preliminary commercial fit
The named assessment, publication, pricing window and quotation days are reviewed alongside the proposed payment terms.
Complete reciprocal onboarding
Legal entity information, beneficial ownership and bank references are exchanged reciprocally before binding terms; on the seller’s authorisation, the terminal operator is asked to confirm the quantity in tank.
Sign the sale and purchase agreement
Every transaction proceeds on an executed sale and purchase agreement, with commercial, inspection and operational controls agreed in the contract.
Set the payment route, bank to bank
Payment is by MT103 against documents, or by a standby letter of credit issued bank to bank where the SPA provides for one; proof of funds moves the same way, never to a third party.
Prove the product, load, inspect, present documents, pay
Proof of product first: on the seller’s authorisation, the terminal operator is asked to confirm the quantity in tank through its own channels, and an independent inspector attends loading where the parcel warrants it. Product documentation is exchanged after signature and completed onboarding, documents are presented for payment, and payment follows on the contract terms. No payment before proof of product, on either side.
02 / Commercial discipline
The discipline that protects both sides of the contract.
Capitalis does not issue or forward terminal documentation it has not obtained directly. Storage is evidenced by confirmation obtained from the terminal operator on the seller’s authorisation, not from a document supplied by the seller. Entity and product documents move through the controlled counterparty stage, not the public form. Capitalis does not contract with a sanctioned counterparty, and the cargo origin stated in the offer is evidenced by the certificate of origin presented with the documents. Every transaction proceeds on a full sale and purchase agreement, with independent inspection where the parcel warrants it. No payment before proof of product: Capitalis does not pay for a cargo before proof of product, and no buyer pays Capitalis before it.
03 / Verification
Verify the counterparty before binding terms.
This controlled exchange is the onboarding stage: each side receives the detail its compliance team needs to open a file without publishing third-party relationships or sensitive operational data.
Ask what onboarding needsEntity details
Contracting entity information and registration documentation.
Commercial framework
Product, pricing, payment and inspection process information relevant to the discussion.
Reciprocal next steps
A named route for exchanged KYC, bank references bank to bank, and any further information required to evaluate a transaction.
Sanctions and origin
Capitalis does not contract with a sanctioned counterparty. The cargo origin stated in the offer is evidenced by the certificate of origin presented with the documents, and product of sanctioned origin is not contracted.
04 / Information security
What stays off this site, and why that protects you.
Capitalis does not publish third-party banking, terminal or logistics relationships, and nothing on this site describes a position, a spread or a price target. Your bank, your terminal and your counterparties are not named here either; where confirmation is appropriate, it is arranged directly between the relevant party and the counterparty.
05 / Verifying us
A message that changes bank details is never from us.
Capitalis writes from capitalis-trading-solutions.com and from no other domain. A message from a lookalike domain is not ours, whatever it says and whoever it names.
- We never notify a change of bank details, beneficiary or contracting entity by email. Any message that does is fraudulent.
- We never ask a counterparty for an advance payment, a deposit or a registration payment, at any stage.
- Payment instructions exist in the executed sale and purchase agreement and move bank to bank, never in an email thread.
- To verify a document or a person, ask us to call you back on a number you already hold, not on a number given in the message.
- Check a registration, licence or LEI number against the issuing register itself, not against the document quoting it. The numbers of every Capitalis entity are in the imprint.
- A reference identifies an enquiry in our inbox. It is not proof of a contract, a counterparty or an instruction, and Capitalis never opens a conversation by quoting a reference you did not receive here.
