A global network is only as valuable as the connections made within it. For FCI members, access to financial institutions across international markets creates opportunities to establish correspondent relationships, strengthen existing partnerships and develop new cross-border business.
Throughout the year, FCI provides members with different opportunities to connect and collaborate. One of these initiatives, the Import-Export Factoring Networking E-vent, returns for its fourth edition on 17 November 2026, offering members a practical way to turn their international connections into business opportunities.
Proven Connections. Real Business Potential.
The value of this initiative is already evident in the results from previous editions.
On average, more than 80 bilateral meetings have been scheduled per edition, while 85% of participants reported meeting new correspondents.
Importantly, these conversations have gone beyond introductions. Participants reported identifying both immediate business cases and prospective new business opportunities, with 100% of respondents indicating they would attend again.
These results demonstrate what can happen when members actively engage with the FCI network and dedicate time to developing relationships across markets.
18 Hours of Networking, Designed Around Your Schedule
Recognising that FCI members operate across different time zones, this edition will offer an extended 18-hour networking window, making participation more convenient for members worldwide.
Participants are not expected to remain online throughout the event. Instead, they can arrange their one-to-one meetings at times that suit their working day, allowing them to connect with international correspondents without disrupting their schedules.
The networking platform opens two weeks before the event, giving registered participants time to explore the attendee list, identify potential business partners and schedule meetings in advance.
Early registration therefore provides more time to plan a productive networking agenda.
More Ways to Make the Most of Your FCI Membership
Beyond bilateral networking, participants will also have access to three dedicated FCI virtual booths, offering direct engagement with FCI teams.
The Edifactoring booth will provide an opportunity to discuss platform functionality and operational questions, while the FCI Academy booth will help members explore education programmes and professional development opportunities.
At the FCI Marketing booth, members can discover ways to increase their institution's visibility, promote their expertise and make greater use of the promotional opportunities available through FCI membership.
Together, these initiatives reflect FCI's commitment to providing practical support that helps members maximise the value of belonging to the global network.
