SC Ventures is becoming a shareholder in Algbra and will use the British-based company's technology to build Shoal, a new digital banking venture, Sky News understands.
An arm of Standard Chartered, the FTSE-100 bank, is taking a stake in a British company set up with the objective of providing ethical financial products to customers.
City sources said that SCV, which is based in Singapore, was investing at least $10m (£8.02m) into Algbra, although neither the exact sum nor the resulting valuation could be ascertained.
As part of their collaboration, Algbra is understood to have agreed to use its core banking platform to build Shoal, a new digital venture announced in 2021 by Standard Chartered Bank to "give UK savers the power to help fund the fight against climate change".
Shoal was originally contracted to be built by Starling Bank, but will now see Algbra's technology deployed instead, according to one fintech insider.
