What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue managing international trade finance operations where I can apply my expertise in documentary credits, guarantees, compliance, import/export processes, and client relationships.

At Banque Populaire, I manage foreign trade transactions including documentary credits and collections, international and customs guarantees, transfers, and foreign currency financing.

I've built more than 10 years of banking experience across trade finance, commercial advisory, cash handling, and client service. I check import/export documents against ICC rules and bank policies, coordinating with clients, correspondent banks, and internal teams to keep transactions moving smoothly.

My background also includes customs clearance, freight forwarding, port and logistics operations, and use of the BADR Customs System. I work fluently in Arabic, French, English, and Spanish, with basic Korean.

I'm focused on transaction accuracy, compliance, risk control, and strong client relationships in international trade.
