Our take
Supply chain finance is an often overlooked but crucial part of global trade. Simply put, it provides liquidity and cash to ensure that buyers receive their goods and sellers get paid.
At the heart of this industry is Demica, whose platform is used by some of the world’s leading financial institutions to automate and scale their working capital products. Today, the company’s customers include HSBC, Standard Chartered, Mastercard, and Lloyds Bank.
Demica’s journey so far has been fascinating, founded in the 1990s and spending its early years offering boutique intermediary services between banks. Since 2014 though, the company has skyrocketed, going from around a dozen employees to hundreds across the world.
2014 was the same year it hired Matt Wreford as CEO, and added Supply Chain Finance bank functionality to its tech platform, which has been the key to its growth. This growth has remained constant and looks set to continue after an acquisition by US financial product and services company FIS in 2024.
