StanChart Rolls Out Fully Digital Portal to Accelerate Suppliers Enrolment
by Fintech News Singapore October 11, 2021Standard Chartered has partnered with Demica, a London-based fintech specialising in working capital solutions, to transform access to the bank’s supplier finance programmes, allowing easier enrolment for thousands of suppliers through an online portal.
The partnership will commence with the roll out of a fully digitised end-to-end “Supplier Enrolment Portal”.
This portal will change how suppliers enrol in supply chain finance programmes by using a digital front-end while providing the bank’s enrolment team with intuitive dashboards for monitoring and sending updates to anchor companies.
The portal, which leverages Demica’s supply chain finance product capabilities and flexible technology, will be delivered via Demica’s platform hosted on a cloud-based solution.
This is the first phase of a strategic partnership between the two organisations.
