About Olea Global

Olea Global is a digital trade finance platform headquartered in Singapore. It was established in 2021 as a joint venture between Standard Chartered Bank and the Chinese supply chain finance technology company, Linklogis. The company was incubated within SC Ventures, Standard Chartered's innovation and ventures unit. The leadership team includes CEO Amelia Ng, a veteran of Standard Chartered with over 20 years in banking, and Deputy CEO Letitia Chau, who co-founded Linklogis and serves as its Vice Chairperson and Chief Risk Officer.

Olea's platform connects businesses in need of supply chain financing with institutional investors seeking opportunities in trade finance assets. This model aims to address the complexities and slowness of traditional trade finance by using technology, including blockchain and AI, to increase efficiency and transparency. The company serves a diverse client base, from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations, facilitating access to working capital. Its business model involves purchasing trade receivables, which provides suppliers with early payments while offering investors an alternative asset class tied to the real economy. Olea operates across more than 70 trade corridors, connecting suppliers and buyers with over 30 institutional funders.

The platform provides solutions for suppliers, buyers, and funders. It digitizes the trade finance process, from document verification to transaction execution, aiming to reduce friction and accelerate funding. Olea has a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. As of late 2025, the company has facilitated over US$3 billion in financing. In December 2025, Olea announced it had raised US$30 million in a Series A funding round led by BBVA, with participation from XDC Network, theDOCK, and existing shareholder SC Ventures. This capital is intended to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven analytics, develop Web3 capabilities, and expand into new markets across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
