A blockchain-based fintech firm that counts DBS Bank and Singapore investment firm Temasek among its founding backers has secured new funding, bringing the total investment to US$80 million (S$107.5 million).
Claire Huang

Singapore-based Partior, which uses blockchain for real-time clearing and settlement, said on Nov 27 that Deutsche Bank has joined its Series B funding round as a strategic investor.

The fresh capital injection will be used to strengthen Partior's global reach, scale its cross-border capability, as well as develop and enhance innovative functions like intraday foreign exchange swaps, among other things.

Deutsche Bank will join Partior's platform as a euro and US dollar settlement bank.

The move complements the German bank's recent launch of dbX, which is a next-generation correspondent banking ecosystem.
