Government and Institutional Business HANSE is well-positioned to facilitate transactions with governments and institutional bodies, including formal tenders. These operations typically require the local involvement of a HANSE Correspondent, or a private broker/trader accredited by HANSE. These representatives must be licensed and possess the necessary local contacts to execute the transaction effectively.

Your HANSE Baseline Accreditation is a key prerequisite for working with HANSE Business and for all new clients. Typically, you will receive an invitation from HANSE to complete the accreditation process. Achieving HANSE Accreditation grants you access to our global business network. We distinguish between three types of accreditation: Broker, Trader, or a dual Broker-Trader role in PersonaLUnion (dual accreditation.Effective August 1, 2026: This new, single accreditation format replaces the former license requirement(s).

HANSE is uniquely positioned to handle counter- and switch trade. Our accredited partners have special relationships around the world. We negotiate counter- and switch trade transactions from start to finish. Countertrade can mitigate the risk of price movements or currency-exchange-rate fluctuations. Because both sides of a countertrade deal in real goods, not financial instruments, countertrade can solve the inflation risk involved in foreign currency procurement. In effect, countertrade can be a better mechanism than financial instruments as a way to hedge against inflation or currency fluctuations .Finally, countertrade offers a way for companies to repatriate profits.
