The collaboration with Olea will enable BBVA to broaden its global reach in supply chain finance solutions, through an agile model tailored to the needs of internationally operating companies.

BBVA has entered into a strategic alliance with Olea, a digital platform specialized in international trade finance and risk solutions, to strengthen its global supply chain finance (SCF) offering. This agreement will allow BBVA to provide comprehensive and scalable solutions to support the growth of internationally active companies, optimizing their supply chains in an increasingly demanding global environment.

Through this partnership, BBVA expands the scope of its SCF solutions—currently offered in Europe, USA and Latin America—and extends them globally. In doing so, the bank offers its corporate clients a fast, flexible solution adapted to the specific characteristics of each transaction and market.

Integrated solutions tailored to each transaction

The alliance entails deep operational integration, with direct coordination between BBVA’s and Olea’s commercial teams, a joint model focused on major trade corridors, and the use of real-time data for more accurate risk assessment. This analytical and execution capability addresses the needs of companies requiring agility, multi-currency coverage, and financing models that are simple to implement, without compromising the sophistication and control required.

According to Pep Ferrís, Head of BBVA CIB in Asia, “with this partnership, BBVA strengthens its commitment to being the go-to bank for its global clients in Asia as well—a key market for the internationalization and transformation of supply chains. Integrating solutions like those offered by Olea enables us to respond more swiftly, closely, and effectively to our clients’ challenges.”

“In an environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain finance has become a key tool to enhance the resilience and competitiveness of companies,” stated Eva Rubio, Head of Global Transaction Banking at BBVA. “With this alliance, we strengthen our ability to support our global clients with innovative, comprehensive solutions prepared to tackle the challenges of international trade.”

Amelia Ng, CEO of Olea, added: “This alliance is not only about expanding access to finance but about building a clear and scalable bridge between global buyers and their supply chains. Together with BBVA, we are fostering a more inclusive, sustainable, and connected trade ecosystem.”

Technology and inclusive financing for mid-sized suppliers

The joint offering also addresses one of the longstanding challenges in international trade: access to credit for mid-sized suppliers outside their local markets. Olea consolidates financing, compliance, and credit risk assessment into a single platform, enabling BBVA to offer a more inclusive, secure, and efficient solution across all links of the supply chain.

Olea operates in more than 70 trade corridors, with a particular focus on emerging markets, where it connects global liquidity with commercial opportunities through digital solutions that streamline international financing.

Commitment to transforming global trade

Through this alliance, BBVA cements its position as a strategic partner for companies operating in complex environments and seeking customized solutions to drive their international expansion. The joint proposal offers real-time data-based risk assessment, greater operational agility—reducing turnaround times from weeks to days—and expanded access to a validated global supplier network.

2025年4月25日,新加坡作为全球领先的 B2B贸易融资平台,Olea浩立与Riverchain International Ltd(简称“Riverchain”)今日宣布达成战略合作,旨在解决建筑行业普遍存在的运营资金需求问题。双方将结合各自专长,为建筑企业,尤其是传统金融机构服务覆盖不足的中小企业,提供量身定制的创新型贸易融资解决方案。此次合作将整合Olea浩立的全球融资能力与Riverchain在建筑领域的专业知识和资产开发经验,为亚太地区建筑企业提供高效运营资金解决方案。

Riverchain首席执行官黄振南(Ben Wong)表示:“建筑行业面临工程款延迟、现金流管理等独特挑战,这些问题会严重影响企业运营和业务增长,最终损害项目供应链。与Olea的合作将增强我们以技术主导的高效融资解决方案,既解决付款延迟问题,又为建筑企业承接新项目提供必要流动性支持,使其不受资金限制。我们的共同目标是革新建筑企业管理流动资金的方式。”

Olea首席执行官伍荣梅(Amelia Ng)表示:“我们很高兴与Riverchain合作,将融资解决方案拓展至长期面临重大流动资金挑战的建筑行业。通过整合双方技术,我们将解决传统不透明供应链的难题,提供专门针对该行业的融资选择。这些解决方案契合建筑行业特有的支付周期和流动性需求,帮助企业在实现可持续增长的同时有效管理现金流。”

建筑行业以冗长的支付周期和复杂供应链著称,这常导致分包商和供应商面临流动资金压力。叠加原材料成本上涨和技术工人短缺等经济波动因素,行业挑战更为严峻。本次合作旨在通过专为建筑支付周期设计的灵活融资方案,缓解这些压力。

Riverchain与Olea的合作将重点支持亚太市场建筑项目。据预测,到2030年亚太地区建筑业产值预计达8.65万亿美元,但流动资金限制仍是主要障碍,尤其对中小型分包商而言。双方解决方案通过数字化融资流程解决运营资金需求问题,加速资金获取速度并提升项目支付周期的透明度。

关于Riverchain

Riverchain是建筑行业值得信赖的流动资金解决方案提供商,总部位于香港并积极拓展东南亚市场。已服务香港地区1200家建筑企业,提供高达发票金额90%的预放资金,使企业能提前60天获得款项。除融资服务外,Riverchain通过专有技术构建更透明、更具韧性的建筑生态系统,提升项目执行和资金流向的透明度。凭借行业专业知识和数字基础设施,为建造业带来创新的融资替代方案,加速企业增长。

Singapore, 22 April 2025: Olea Global Pte Ltd (“Olea”) and Riverchain International Ltd (“Riverchain”) are pleased to announce a strategic partnership aimed at addressing the significant working capital lock-up in the construction industry. This collaboration will leverage both companies’ expertise to provide innovative financing solutions tailored specifically for construction companies, particularly SMEs that are often underserved by tradition financial institutions.

The partnership will combine Olea’s global financing capabilities with Riverchain’s specialized knowledge and asset origination expertise of the construction sector to deliver efficient working capital solutions for construction businesses across the APAC region.

Ben Wong, CEO of Riverchain, said: “The construction sector faces unique challenges, such as payment delays and cash flow management issues, which can severely impact business operations and growth, ultimately compromising the project supply chain. This partnership with Olea enhances our ability to take a technology-led approach to deliver more comprehensive and efficient financing solutions that address payment delays and provide the liquidity needed for construction companies to take on new projects without financial constraints. Together, we aim to transform how construction businesses manage working capital.”

Amelia Ng, CEO of Olea, said: “We are delighted to partner with Riverchain to extend our financing solutions to the construction industry, which has traditionally faced significant working capital challenges. This collaboration allows us to demystify what has often been an opaque supply chain by leveraging our joint technologies to provide specialized funding options. These solutions address the unique payment cycles and liquidity needs of the construction sector, helping businesses grow sustainably while managing cash flow effectively.”

The construction industry is known for its extended payment terms and complex supply chains, which often create working capital pressures for contractors and suppliers. Add to this a volatile economic environment, characterised by rising material costs and skilled labour shortages. This partnership aims to alleviate these challenges by providing accessible, flexible financing solutions designed specifically for construction payment cycles.

The Riverchain-Olea partnership plans to finance construction projects, focusing on Asia-Pacific markets. Experts predict continued growth in the sector, with the Asia-Pacific construction output expected to reach USD 8.65 trillion by 2030. However, working capital constraints remain a significant barrier, particularly for small and medium-sized contractors. The Riverchain-Olea solution addresses this working capital lock-up through digitalized financing processes that provide faster access to capital and greater visibility across project payment cycles.

About Riverchain

Riverchain is a trusted provider of working capital solutions to the construction industry. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Riverchain is actively expanding its footprint across the Southeast Asian region. Having already supported 1,200 construction businesses in Hong Kong, Riverchain provides cash advances of up to 90% on invoices—allowing companies to receive payments up to 60 days before their original expected date. 

Beyond financing, Riverchain is building a more transparent and resilient construction ecosystem through the proprietary technology that improves visibility of project performance and payment flows. Through Riverchain’s specialised industry knowledge and digital infrastructure, Riverchain is modernising construction finance and empowering businesses across the supply chain to grow confidently and sustainably.

  • The partnership leverages SWIAT’s Tokenisation Engine and Olea’s expertise in trade receivables financing
  • The fintechs enable supply chain finance through tokenising a receivables claim
  • With this partnership, SWIAT increases its international footprint and demonstrates the manifold application opportunities of its blockchain software in another flagship project
  • Both fintechs are part of the SC Ventures ecosystem, Standard Chartered’s innovation, fintech investment and ventures arm

Frankfurt am Main, Singapore, 19 Sept 2024 – SWIAT GmbH (“SWIAT”), a fintech company specialising in the development of blockchain software for an open, decentralised financial market infrastructure, and Olea, a digital infrastructure platform that channels global liquidity to support supply chain and trade assets, today announced a collaboration to enable fully digitalised supplier financing on the blockchain. Backed by SC Ventures, Standard Chartered’s innovation, fintech investment and ventures arm, SWIAT and Olea are expanding their international reach with the partnership, particularly in the highly innovative financial hubs of Singapore and Frankfurt.

In preparation for financing, Olea tokenised receivables arising from a supplier’s delivery of goods. SWIAT provided its blockchain infrastructure and software, which was designed to conform to capital market, compliance and regulatory requirements like incoming Basel III (SCO60). Olea operates a digital infrastructure platform that matches supplier’s financing needs with funders. The funder for the inaugural tokenised receivable is DekaBank, one of the joint-venture partners in SWIAT. The project leveraged SWIAT’s Tokenisation Engine and Olea’s expertise in trade receivables financing.

The market for trade finance is estimated to be worth at least US 10 trillion annually, according to the World Trade Organisation. Supply Chain (Trade) Finance solutions offer companies a way to optimise working capital by extending payment terms to suppliers while ensuring timely payments. Trade finance is considered to be a particularly safe form of finance, as it is underwritten by predictable collateral and documented operational flows.

Gurdeep Singh Kohli, SC Ventures Lead for Europe and Americas said: “At SC Ventures, we are continuously exploring business models to rewire the DNA in Banking. This partnership is a great example of our ecosystem coming together to support international trade by tokenising financial assets. SWIAT enables Olea to issue digital assets, while Olea addresses the challenges of the global economy by tapping into alternative funding sources from institutional base investors. We look forward to supporting future use cases within our ecosystem of ventures.“

Dr. Timo Reinschmidt, SWIAT Co-CEO and CCO, said: “This transaction represents another milestone in the still young company history of SWIAT. It not only demonstrates the broad field of application and the global potential of the SWIAT software, but is also an expression of the successful cooperation between two fintechs, both of which count SC Ventures among their owners and thus have the best prerequisites for successful joint projects in the future. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Olea.“

Amelia Ng, Olea CEO, added: “We are thrilled to announce this fruitful collaboration between SWIAT and Olea. This partnership aims to digitalise supplier financing using blockchain technology, bringing transparency, security, and efficiency to the process. By leveraging blockchain, we will streamline transactions, reduce costs, and enhance trust among all stakeholders. This innovative approach will empower suppliers with faster access to financing, thereby driving growth and sustainability within the supply chain ecosystem.”

SWIAT’s vision is to create a single global standard for processing blockchain-based securities. A key feature of the SWIAT ecosystem is that capital market, compliance and regulatory aspects are considered in the conception phase, thereby offering security and compatibility with regulatory requirements.

SWIAT forecasts digital assets to grow in importance globally in the coming years as tokenisation increases. In Europe, SWIAT estimates that an open decentralised financial market will grow more than 60 per cent per year (CAGR) to more than €3 trillion by 2030.
