About Us - iFast

Founded in 2022, iFast has worked on numerous translation projects and built a professional and dedicated team of translators specializing and focusing on translation services in 15 major languages including Korean, Japanese, English, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Filipino, Arabic, Hindi and Russian. What's worth mentioning is that we are highly skilled in the Financial Sector - over the past years we have been involved in various capital market projects covering translations of a wide variety of documents including Offering Circulars, Audited Reports, Prospectus Translations and Annual Reports Translation.

iFast Financial Translation - All About Professionalism

When translating different types of professional documents, the translator must have superior language skills, professional knowledge in a specialized field, and the ability to understand the original text and convert it into another language in a faithful and fluent manner. iFast uses a very strict assessment system to contract professionals in various fields to satisfy the diverse needs of its clients. For any given job request, we always have an another person to proof read, type reset or to assess translation quality per case to constantly review and develop our translators and ensure optimal quality.

For financial translations, we understand how important reliability, punctuality and high-quality contents are especially for Debt Capital Market projects (such as OCs and Credit Highlights) and Equity Capital Market Projects (such as Initial Public Offerings). Our financial sector clients cover international banks, asset mangers and multinational corporates, given the nature of their international presence and their requirements in terms of conveying information in their local markets. Their contents are normally highly time sensitive especially regarding audited financial reports and annual reports which are generally used for filing purposes.

What's worth mentioning is that for primary capital market projects that have not been aounnced to the market, we are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure your contents are strictly kept confidential.

Translations by Humans for Humans

At iFast, we understand that nothing is more essential than relaying your message to the world. Human translation services are the best way to go about this because they rely on life and language experience to communicate the subtleties of your source text to a larger audience.

Because we understand that the most precious relationships are built on trust, you can rely on us to provide complete transparency every step of the translation process. What's our main goal? Ensuring your meaning goes beyond linguistic and cultural borders to reach the people you need. We look forward to working with you.

We produce accurate translations by humands instead of Artificial Intelligences (AIs) because we believe we believe AIs technology wise are not there yet to produce the best-quality translations regarding sensitive and important documents such as Offering Circulars.

Crédit Agricole Group - Past Cases

For many years, we have been providing specialized translation services for Crédit Agricole S.A., focusing on Panda Bonds issuances. Our work involves accurately translating a wide range of complex financial materials from English into Simplified Chinese, ensuring precision, regulatory compliance, and cultural appropriateness for the Chinese onshore bond market. The scope of our translations includes:

Credit Highlights: Concise summaries of the issuer's credit profile, financial strengths, key risks, and rating rationales, tailored for investor presentations and marketing materials related to Panda Bond offerings.

Roadshow Presentations: Comprehensive slide decks and supporting documents used during non-deal and deal roadshows, covering Crédit Agricole S.A.'s business overview, strategy, financial performance, market positioning, and specific details of the Panda Bond issuance (such as terms, use of proceeds, and covenants).

Annual Reports: Full or excerpted translations of the bank's universal registration documents and annual financial reports, including management discussions, audited financial statements, risk factors, governance sections, and sustainability/ESG disclosures, adapted for Chinese regulatory requirements and investor expectations.

Seasoned Earnings Materials: Post-issuance updates such as quarterly or annual earnings releases, results announcements, investor presentations, and supplementary disclosures that provide ongoing transparency to Panda Bond holders and the broader Chinese investor community.
Throughout this long-term partnership, we have maintained the highest standards of financial terminology consistency, tone alignment with the bank's branding, and adherence to both international accounting standards (IFRS) and Chinese disclosure norms. Our deep expertise in fixed-income instruments, particularly RMB-denominated bonds issued by foreign entities in mainland China, has enabled us to deliver timely, high-quality translations that support Crédit Agricole S.A.'s successful access to the Chinese capital markets.
