Singapore-based fintech firm #dltledgers announced that it has raised S$8.5 million in a Series B funding round to fuel its North American expansion plans.

According to #dltledgers, the recent fundraise has pushed its valuation to S$100 million, up from S$46 million after its Series A round just over a year ago.

“It is a tough climate for fund raising as the world market is going through flux, and investors are very selective. It’s a real testament to our platform and its multiplier effect; we got over subscribed for our series.

The world certainly needs an MESCBN platform like ours, which can connect supply-chains across entities, starting from a supplier or distributor framework and can deliver authentication, sustainability and financing in its trust mode across logistics banks and all of supply chain partners,”

said Samir Neji, Founder of #dltledgers.

“I am extremely bullish about our platform, I saw the global impact it could bring to supply chain finance and sustainability, and our new investment round strengthens our focus in solving real-life supply chain and financing issues.

Technology has advanced so much that we felt the need to shift people’s thinking about what those capabilities could be,”

said Farooq Sidiqqi, CEO of #dltledgers, who joined the company after a 30-year stint as a banker.
