Our story
TASConnect began as Project Litmus under Standard Chartered Bank, where we co-created a platform with Lenovo to address their need for a unified trade ecosystem with improved visibility, control, and liquidity support.
Through this collaboration, our founding team discovered a significant market gap – many other corporates faced similar challenges but lacked a comprehensive solution. Recognising the broader demand for such innovative technology, the team decided to evolve the platform into TASConnect.
In February 2022, TASConnect was officially launched with the mission of becoming an all-in-one platform for corporations navigating complex ecosystems, offering innovative solutions tailored to their unique challenges.
