HSBC launches new embedded finance venture

SemFi by HSBC will deliver innovative embedded finance solutions for businesses

HSBC has launched its new jointly owned venture, SemFi by HSBC, which aims to deliver Seamless Embedded Finance solutions to business clients.

The new technology company is a joint venture between HSBC and Tradeshift, a B2B global trade network. SemFi will embed HSBC payment, trade, and financing solutions across a range of e-commerce and marketplace venues, including Tradeshift’s own B2B network. 

SemFi will deliver its solutions in the UK to begin with, enabling SME suppliers on e-commerce venues to access digital invoice financing from HSBC, through a seamless experience. It also aims to offer SMEs greater flexibility and security in their spend management through HSBC virtual card solutions.

SemFi launch will enable Tradeshift to meet the burgeoning demand for embedded financial services

James Stirk, CEO of Tradeshift, gives his take on the launch of SemFi

The official launch of SemFi, our joint venture with HSBC, marks a transformative step in Tradeshift’s ability to deliver vital, value-adding services to our network. 

It addresses one of the most pressing challenges businesses face: access to liquidity, cash flow management, and seamless financial integration within supply chains.

Research by the Asian Development Bank puts the current trade finance gap at $2.5 trillion. A separate study by BDO found that nine in ten mid-sized businesses have had to curb growth plans due to difficulties accessing working capital.

Our ability to address this gap, at the point of need, is a powerful incentive for businesses to join Tradeshift and remain connected. 

Our existing Cash and Go products have proven effective in unlocking working capital and optimising financial operations for businesses on the Tradeshift network. 

With SemFi now incorporated, we have the opportunity to scale rapidly and meet the demand for these services we already know exists.

The opportunities ahead are vast, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s next.
