MineHub and Mitigram Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Advance Digital Trade Finance in Commodities

WHY THIS MATTERS

The global commodities market is currently undergoing a “trade finance reset,” where the historical reliance on paper-heavy, manual documentation is being replaced by integrated digital ecosystems. This partnership matters because it bridges the gap between the physical supply chain and the financial institutions that fund it. Historically, banks have operated in the dark, waiting for physical documents to arrive before releasing capital. By linking MineHub’s real-time logistics and ESG data with Mitigram’s network of over 100 countries, the two firms are enabling “in-transit” cargo to function as live collateral.

This move is strategically timed with the 2026 rise of Agentic AI in trade finance, which requires structured, verifiable data to automate risk assessment and compliance checks. For commodity traders, this integration means faster access to working capital and a significant reduction in “double-financing” risks that have plagued the sector. As regulatory mandates like the EU Battery Regulation and G7 critical mineral rules tighten, the ability to provide a single “version of the truth” across the end-to-end contract-to-cash cycle becomes a vital competitive advantage for any firm operating in the global supply chain.

Mitigram, a global platform for digital trade finance, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB, OTCQB: MHUBF), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets. MineHub will now add Mitigram’s impressive network and capabilities to its trade finance partner network.  

“We are thrilled to expand our trade finance partner network to include Mitigram.  Together with Mitigram, we are at the forefront of innovation, creating integrated digital solutions that digitize and de-risk global supply chains,” said Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub. “By linking MineHub’s real-time logistics data and network with Mitigram’s trade finance capabilities and network, we are advancing our mission to de-risk transactions and unlock more efficient access to capital.”

“Joining forces with MineHub represents an important step toward a more connected and data-driven future for commodity trade finance,” said Joshua Kroeker, CEO of Mitigram. “The collaboration bridges physical supply chain visibility with intelligent trade financing solutions, enabling us to build a best-in-class digital solution that unlocks faster, more transparent access to working capital across the commodities ecosystem.”

Mitigram connects global corporates and banks through a single digital interface to source competitive trade finance (such as letters of credit and other instruments) and manage bank relationships. It automates workflows, increases transparency and delivers data-driven insights, bringing greater visibility and control to financing decisions. Simultaneously, it empowers banks to access corporate trade finance demand, standardize deal workflows, and deploy capital more efficiently across a broader market.

The Agreement between MineHub and Mitigram establishes a framework for collaboration between MineHub and Mitigram to jointly explore opportunities to streamline and digitize trade finance processes across the commodities supply chain. By combining MineHub’s post-trade capabilities such as digital documentation and shipment visibility with Mitigram’s financing network and digital workflows, the two companies aim to better serve the commodities market by improving transparency, reduce risk, and accelerate access to working capital.

Unlocking More Efficient Trade Finance

Trade finance remains a critical yet often fragmented component of commodity transactions, relying heavily on manual documentation, disconnected systems, and limited data visibility.

Through this collaboration, MineHub and Mitigram will explore how digitized, real-time supply chain data can be leveraged to:

•   Enhance risk assessment and credit decisioning

•   Reduce reliance on manual documentation and reconciliation

•   Improve speed and efficiency of financing workflows

•   Increase transparency across counterparties, financiers, and service providers

•   Enable more seamless access to trade finance for commodity participant

Next Steps

Under the Agreement, the two companies will work together to identify joint use cases, engage with mutual customers, and assess integration opportunities between their respective platforms.

FF NEWS TAKE

The collaboration between Mitigram and MineHub is a clear signal that “interoperability” is the defining theme of fintech in 2026. While both companies have built impressive individual platforms—Mitigram facilitating over $41 billion in transactions and MineHub securing landmark deals with giants like Codelco—their true value is unlocked when they stop acting as isolated silos. By combining post-trade digital documentation with a global financing interface, they are creating a “full-stack” solution that mirrors the shift toward embedded finance seen in other sectors.

However, the challenge for this partnership remains the industry-wide struggle with standardized data formats and legal frameworks. While the technical integration of MineHub’s real-time tracking with Mitigram’s automated workflows is a massive leap forward, its ultimate success depends on the broad adoption of digital standards by conservative legacy banks. If they can successfully onboard their combined network of 300+ institutions, they will not just be streamlining workflows; they will be defining the infrastructure for a more resilient, transparent, and digitally-native commodity market.
