Spanish multinational banking group Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) has joined Singapore-based trade finance platform Capital and Credit Risk Manager (CCRM) as a full member bank.
CCRM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tin Hill Capital and is supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Financial Sector Development Fund. CCRM provides a digital marketplace in the secondary market for trade and working capital risk. It facilitates operational efficiency, greater price discovery, Market Depth and governance in the secondary market place model.
The move is in line with the bank's digital strategy to advance itself in the fintech ecosystem and drive innovation to explore new digital solutions. The new platform will improve the efficiency of trade asset distribution, transparency to the market and will make it easier for stakeholders to access the market. It will help the bank to develop its trade finance business.
Commenting on the development, Daniel Berenguer, Executive Director of Global Trade & International Banking Digital Sales and Platforms at BBVA, said: "There is no doubt that we are still at an initial phase in the development of these new ways of understanding the business. There are some challenges that have to be resolved, such as its general adoption by the market, financial institutions, funds and insurers; but it is undoubtedly a significant step forward in the right direction for the management of the business in the future. But what is already a reality - and this how we feel it in our organization - is that adapting to new technologies is being internalized by the teams and now forms part of our DNA as an organization.”
The move is aligned with the bank's strategy to position itself as an agile organisation, and strengthen its presence in the market segment. In June, BBVA became the first bank to offer structured product prices (equity, Forex, derivatives) in real time through the Bloomberg platform.

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
