About AREA42
Who are we?
AREA42 is the financial solutions innovator in trade. Launched by Credendo and based in Belgium, AREA42 is creating a world where trade is frictionless. How? By identifying real B2B trade problems and crafting customer-centric TradeTech solutions.
Vision
Our vision is to create a world where trade is frictionless.
Mission
Our mission is to create financial solutions making trade fluid and risk-savvy.
Values
Respect
We believe in treating everyone with respect, including our customers, partners, and colleagues. We value diversity and inclusivity, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.
Curiosity
Curiosity is at the heart of everything we do. We are always looking for new ways to solve problems and create value for our customers. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and constantly seek to learn and improve.
Risk-savviness
We don’t see risks as obstacles but rather as opportunities to understand, assess, and then apply deep trade finance know-how and data-driven insight to de-risk B2B trade. We enable SMEs (and other companies) to grow with confidence.
Boldness
Innovation requires boldness and a willingness to try new and daring things. We believe in learning rather than failing. Boldness allows us to create game-changing TradeTech solutions that have a real and lasting impact on B2B trade.
AREA42’s story
Why we exist
B2B commerce has a significant impact on our lives. It ensures that we can work, eat, and enjoy life. Yet it does not reach its full potential. The trade industry is a collection of industries that work together in different areas, but everyone minds their own business regarding innovation.
We solve B2B trade problems
TradeTech is a young industry that leverages technology to improve the trade of goods and services. That means disrupting the traditional ways of financing trade.
Meeting working capital needs
Our working capital solutions such as TermsTech and GrowKap are available throughout the EEA and Switzerland. Simultaneously, our innovation lab drives customer-centric upgrades and builds new TradeTech and working capital solutions.
Meet the people behind AREA42
