Finance fund, to its growing portfolio of clients in production.

transportation and storing of the underlying products as well as the final sale of
the product to the off-taker
Co-Founder Gary Isbister commented, “We have always maintained that
operations is a vital cog in the trade finance process, and upon seeing the
capabilities of this technology, we believe it to be the perfect tool to supplement
our product offering. We see huge opportunities with the platform to help us
scale, mitigate risk and use the data to drive our growth plans.”

great growth story and we are really excited to be working with our first Trade

that our platform can support and we are delighted to be part of Challenger’s
global growth”
