The story

OneConnect was spun out of Ping An Group to commercialize the conglomerate's internal fintech infrastructure as a B2B SaaS offering for banks and financial institutions. The company's core proposition shifted from internal tooling to an external platform business — selling credit analytics, eKYC, digital banking (OneCosmo), and anti-fraud capabilities to banks across China and ASEAN. Its Singapore entity (ocft.com.sg) has become the primary vehicle for international expansion, positioning OneConnect as a full-stack fintech infrastructure provider for regional banks and digital lenders.
