The International Bankers Association of Japan is pleased to welcome Chocolate Finance as a new member.
Founded in Singapore by Walter de Oude, who previously founded and scaled Singlife into one of Singapore's leading digital insurers, Chocolate Finance is a digitally-native asset and wealth management group serving customers across Singapore and Hong Kong. The group holds a Capital Markets Services licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and is licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong, and has built a reputation for making investment and cash management accessible through a seamless mobile experience.
Its most recent funding round was led by Amova (formerly Nikko Asset Management), with continued backing from Peak XV Partners, Prosus and Saison Capital. Chocolate Finance is now establishing its presence in Japan through Chocolate Finance K.K. The Japan entity is progressing through the regulatory licensing process and is preparing to commence operations once authorised, bringing the group's cross-jurisdictional experience across Singapore, Hong Kong and the wider region to one of Asia's most significant financial markets.
We look forward to welcoming Chocolate Finance to the IBA Japan membership and to the fresh perspective they bring to Japan's evolving financial landscape.
