Today, oil trades move through informal channels.

A 50,000-barrel cargo finds its match through job boards, direct messages, and the relationships one broker already has. Rates hide inside those referrals; credit quality hides behind trust; settlement is a string of emails and a phone call.

LinkedIn DM

"Hey, got 50k bbl WTI Rotterdam, looking for a real. Intro?"

r/commodities

"[WTB] CIF Med jet A-1, 8k MT, will pay $9/MT intro fee."

Job board post

"Urgent bid: Brent lift 30k bbl. References on request."

Drumchord replaces those informal channels with commission-disclosed, credit-vetted counterparty matching.

Four moves. Standardized specs. No guesswork on price.

Brokers spend time on price rather than paperwork. Drumchord handles the rails around the trade.

  1. 01

    Post the cargo

    Parcel or tender: product, volume, lay/can, incoterms, hook. Standardized spec fields, no freeform.

  2. 02

    Vet the counterparty

    Every profile is KYC-cleared with posted credit-line data and trading history. No anonymous DMs.

  3. 03

    Match & negotiate

    Drumchord surfaces ranked counterparties for the spec. Inside the match, you negotiate price; the platform stays out of it.

  4. 04

    Settle in-platform

    Trade ticket, commission receipt, and post-trade settlement tooling on the same record — auditable end-to-end.

The commission is on the ticket.No rate shopping.

Drumchord publishes the commission before the match closes. Both sides see the same number. Compensation only moves on a closed deal.
