About Orbian


Orbian is the world’s leading supply chain finance company. For more than a decade, we have been providing large, global corporations with collaborative supply chain finance solutions and services. Our innovative, trust-enabled approach to SCF delivers significant benefits to our clients that cannot be found with any other SCF offering.

Orbian was conceived and developed in the late 1990's as a joint venture between global leaders in financial services and enterprise software. Orbian became an independent, private company when its current owners purchased the company in 2003.

In 2004, Orbian launched its trust-enabled funding structure that, combined with the company’s state of the art SCF technology platform, allows Orbian to offer comprehensive SCF solutions and services to its large corporate clients globally. The universal funding structure allows Orbian to offer programs with virtually unlimited funding capacity while mitigating the operational risks inherent in other SCF offerings.

The Orbian solution helps buyers and suppliers enhance business performance - optimize working capital, mitigate supply chain risk, and reduce operational costs - by delivering the most efficient form of receivables financing and streamlining and automating the payment and settlement process.

Orbian is comprised of top talent from the world's leaders in finance, technology and customer service. The company is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut with global operations located in London in the UK. In addition to its direct sales force, Orbian distributes its solution through several strategic partners that include many of the world’s leading financial institutions and technology companies.
