Proxtera announced the first close of its seed funding round by Ant Group, CerraCap Ventures, and EDBI. Details of the fundraise was not disclosed.
The funding will be used as working capital to further develop the company’s digital cross-border trade and financial services enabled by trusted credentials.
The firm is looking to develop and release more digital products to cover the end-to-end digital trade journey for a B2B trade.
Proxtera is the operationalisation of the Business sans Borders initiative led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
The company has so far launched the SME Financial Empowerment programme for digital financial literacy, the Emerging Markets Currency Exchange (EMCX) to help SMEs find competitive forex rates for illiquid currencies as well as the Ghana Integrated Financial Corridor (GIFE).
