Amsterdam Trade Bank (ATB) is teaming up with Mid-Ship Capital to offer banking solutions to the energy, commodities and shipping sectors.

The Dutch trade finance house and New York merchant bank say they intend to expand their individual businesses by offering specialized credits and loans, as well as providing investment banking products and services.

“The cooperation will enhance the origination and execution capacity of both organizations at a time when client demand for creative capital solutions is paramount,” the two companies said in a short statement.
