SINGAPORE, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LONGPORT Whale, a leading fintech brand, is pleased to announce that it has won the Ecosystem Collaboration Award – Singapore at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) FinTech Awards 2026. The award recognizes outstanding achievement in building fintech ecosystems and advancing collaboration across the industry.
Unlike traditional system providers, Whale is built on a cloud-native microservices architecture and delivers integrated front-to-back solutions under a “Securities as a Service” model. The platform is designed to support brokerages, banks, family offices, external asset managers, and other licensed financial institutions with cross-market, multi-asset trading and wealth management needs.
The platform connects with leading global counterparties, product issuers, and custodian banks, while offering pre-integrated access to essential third-party services, including market data, news, KYC, and customer service tools. These connections provide clients with a ready-to-deploy financial ecosystem, enabling them to enter new markets and launch new products without the complexity and time required to manage multiple technology integrations and vendor relationships. Meanwhile, LONGPORT Whale’s open API framework ensures clients retain the flexibility to connect with additional third-party services as their businesses evolve.
Through its global market connectivity, LONGPORT Whale enables financial institutions to access major markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States, while providing connectivity to more than a dozen structured note issuers. The platform supports a wide range of asset classes, including equities, ETFs, options, structured notes, over-the-counter (OTC) products, and virtual assets, and currently serves more than 100 financial institutions worldwide.
Zhong Hua, CEO of LONGPORT Whale, said, “This award recognises the ecosystem value we have built and strengthens our confidence in continuing to expand our network of ecosystem partnerships. What we aim to provide clients is more than a platform that integrates multi-market, multi-asset trading and wealth management capabilities — it is an open and interconnected global trading network. Every new market we enter, every new asset class we support, and every new ecosystem partner we connect strengthens this network. As it continues to grow, so does the value we create for our clients.”
