HONG KONG, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Riverchain International Limited (“Riverchain” or the “Company”), a Hong Kong-based fintech specialising in working capital solutions for construction companies, today announced a strategic partnership with Micro Connect, which connects global capital with micro and small businesses. Under the partnership, Riverchain will originate working capital assets, drawing on a scalable and dedicated funding commitment from Micro Connect.
With project payment cycles lengthening across the construction sector, timely access to working capital has become a competitive necessity for contractors. This partnership pairs Riverchain’s origination engine and sector expertise with Micro Connect’s capital markets infrastructure — delivering a financing channel designed around project cycles, not the constraints of traditional lending.
Key benefits of the partnership include:
- A new channel to global capital: The structure opens a pathway for funds through Micro Connect’s platform to Hong Kong’s construction sector, introducing a new pool of liquidity to a segment historically underserved by conventional financing channels.
- Efficient and transparent financing: By combining Riverchain’s data-driven credit assessment with Micro Connect’s innovative financing framework, the partnership delivers funding more efficiently and transparently than traditional channels, providing contractors a faster and more predictable experience.
- Support for industry resilience: The partnership helps contractors manage liquidity, handle unexpected project variations, and take on larger projects with confidence — contributing to the long-term growth and resilience of Hong Kong’s built environment.
Ben Wong, Founder and CEO of Riverchain, stated, “Contractors continue to face real challenges accessing working capital on terms that reflect how their projects actually run. By originating assets that are purpose-built for the construction industry and pairing them with Micro Connect’s funding commitment we are building a transparent financial ecosystem that supports contractors in taking on larger projects with confidence.”
Charles Li, Founder and Chairman of Micro Connect, added, “Construction is a sector where the mismatch between project realities and available financing has been particularly acute. Riverchain brings the origination capability and industry insight needed to bridge that gap, and we are pleased to channel our investors’ capital into a segment that plays such a foundational role in Hong Kong’s economy.”
