This MOU establishes a strategic partnership to collaborate on building trade finance solutions and club finance solutions based on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT, a.k.a Blockchain) and promote the FinMonster marketplace for bankers and corporates.
The global trade finance gap, which was last estimated at US$1.5 trillion in the World Trade Statistical Review 2018 by WTO, is presenting a considerable barrier to trade1. CryptoBLK, supported by FinMonster, is building a DLT-based open account and supply chain finance platform by combining its advanced technology capabilities, and FinMonster’s insights and expertise in trade finance, to improve trade efficiency, build better trust among trade participants, and greatly reduce financing risks and costs.
“FinMonster and CryptoBLK share the same mission to accelerate the pace of digital transformation for trade finance to overcome the finance gap,” said Dr. Duncan Wong, CEO of CryptoBLK. “Through our partnership with FinMonster, we hope to enable businesses of trade finance to gain access to DLT solutions and integrate the technologies into the processes of buyers, suppliers and financiers.”
FinMonster is a corporate banking fintech company aiming at building a corporate banking marketplace to facilitate the business banking operation. The team is excited to participate in the development of the DLT solution by contributing their knowledge and frontier experience in trade finance.
“We are committed to the modernization of corporate banking with emerging technology and are ecstatic to partner with CryptoBLK given their domain expertise in DLT,” said Jess Cheng, CEO of FinMonster. “In addition to trade finance, the club finance has been a focus of ours for quite some time now. With a DLT-based infrastructure, both small-medium enterprises, or even corporates, and financiers will be benefited from the relatively low financing risks and cost. This further strengthens our brand promise, which is to serve a better financing experience by offering price comparison and matching services.”
CryptoBLK and FinMonster will also work together on co-marketing efforts through launching educational seminars and workshops to speed up the development of DLT products and go-to-market plans.
