Partnership with Commercial Data Interchange (CDI)
Enhances financial services through innovative use of commercial data

About Threezero
Threezero is an original toy brand which designs, develops, manufactures and sells collectible figures throughout the world. To tap on new business opportunities, the company has to develop new products from time to time but research and development work requires a lot of investment. The company applied for funding but it took a long time for banks to process their application and as a result, the company were forced to delay some of their new development plans. With the consent from threezero, Tradelink shares their declaration data with PAObank to facilitate their loan approval process. With a shorter processing time and a lower interest rate, threezero was very satisfied with their CDI experience.
Helping local toy brand tackle cash flow problems and seize business opportunities
PAObank has leveraged alternative data provided by Tradelink to conduct credit assessments to speed up the loan application and approval process, leading to a more convenient and cost-effective experience facilitating our business growth.
