Christian Frahm’s brokertech and banktech holding company United Fintech has made yet another addition, announcing the acquisition of London and Sydney based Trade Ledger, a pioneering technology company behind an AI-powered solution that automates commercial and business lending.

Trade Ledger brings to United Fintech a strong customer base that includes Barclays and Bank of Queensland, along with proven expertise in data-driven lending and commercial banking automation. The company will retain its leadership and brand identity while becoming an integral part of United Fintech’s expanding Commercial Banking division.

Christian Frahm, CEO and Founder of United Fintech said,

“AI is redefining how banks operate, and Trade Ledger is at the forefront of that change. Trade Ledger CEO and Co-Founder Martin McCann and his team have built exceptional technology that transforms lending into a real-time, data-driven experience for customers.

“Together with our acquisition of CBA earlier this year, we’re now building the most complete digital infrastructure for commercial banking, from lending and trade finance to payments. Through the United Fintech ecosystem, we’re scaling this innovation globally to give financial institutions the intelligent infrastructure they need to thrive in the AI era.”

The acquisition of Trade Ledger follows United Fintech’s successful integration of CBA earlier this year, which added payments and trade finance capabilities to the group. Together, they highlight the growing demand from banks for smarter, AI-driven solutions and create strong synergies between payments and commercial banking technology, strengthening United Fintech’s position as a strategic partner helping financial institutions automate workflows, enhance credit decisioning, and accelerate digital transformation.

The acquisition is structured as an all-share transaction, aligning the long-term interests of both companies. As part of the deal, Trade Ledger’s founders have exchanged their shares for equity in United Fintech, reflecting their confidence in the shared vision and future growth potential of the combined group.

Martin McCann, CEO and Co-Founder of Trade Ledger said,

“Joining United Fintech marks an exciting new chapter for Trade Ledger. As founders, our ambition has always been to transform how banks use data and technology to serve their customers. By becoming part of United Fintech, we gain the expertise, scale, and global reach to accelerate that vision and deliver impact faster than we could alone. We’re also proud to become shareholders in United Fintech, reflecting our belief in the long-term value of being part of something bigger.”
