Users can access a marketplace of solution providers through a single dashboard.
Opal, a neo-bank licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), is announcing its partnership with a financing partner, Choco Up, the leading revenue-based financing investor in Asia.
Opal, a Major Payment Institution (MPI) licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), is announcing its partnership with a financing partner, Choco Up, the leading revenue-based financing investor in Asia. Together, they will offer a range of financing solutions to e-commerce and digital companies, the most unique of which, is revenue-based financing (“RBF”). RBF is unique in the region as applicants only need to repay a percentage of their revenue. The solution matches the applicant’s revenue numbers as it can grow and ebb to reduce pressure on their cash flow. There is also one flat fee making the cost of financing truly transparent. It takes 30 seconds to register for an account and get a preliminary offer in 5 minutes.
As long as companies use Opal to receive payments, giving visibility into their receivables, the qualification criteria for the RBF is easier and the fee is less. Users get multi-currency accounts, financing, and payments on a single Opal account.

1,000km, sustainable, efficient , no onboard pilot: How ‘Gap Drone ’ is rewriting the rules of remote logistics
Can autonomous drones solve Australia’s “tyranny of distance”? GAP Drone CEO Liesl Haris thinks so. With the launch of ATLAS—an autonomous transport logistics aircraft system—the company is bypassing traditional infrastructure to deliver 50kg payloads over 1,000km. Dubbed the “Uber of airfreight,” GAP Drone is tackling the “too hard basket” of remote logistics, partnering with Australia Post to provide First Nations communities and regional hubs with reliable, low-cost access to medicine, food, and economic opportunity. By operating within current regulatory frameworks and utilising a “no-runway” launch model, GAP Drone is transforming air freight from an expensive luxury into a scalable utility.
