All you need to know about Onbrane.
Onbrane is a French fintech that aims to digitalize the primary debt market through a negotiation platform for market players.
In theoretical physics, Branes are dynamic objects that propagate in space-time according to the rules of quantum mechanics. Our project is based on a constantly evolving ecosystem that depends on technological progress, it’s mostly because we’re geeks and it absolutely rocks
Onbrane began its journey in September 2018
We have 10 employees from financial or digital industry.
Our platform replaces the phone calls and emails but keeps the flexibility of a voice negotiation. The negotiation is done online and its format is standardized to ensure all participants go through the same process. The platform allows issuers and investors to express their needs and intermediaries to facilitate transactions. Users remain in control of their actions and choose with whom they wish to work.
The platform has been developed with and for market participants :
– Issuers
– Intermediaries (Broker /Dealer)
– Investors
However, we regularly meet with paying agents, associations, etc.

We issued a NEU CP with the difficulties of negotiating on the phone and the recovery of the ISIN code which takes 5 hours to get…. A nightmare! We are funded by businessmen with various backgrounds, all of them professionals of their trade. They come from the world of finance, new technologies, and entrepreneurship. They provide us with advice based on their experience.
A Commercial Papers is a negotiable debt paper with maturities of up to one year.
EURO CP, NEU CP, US CP. However, we are already working on other local Commercial Paper market. Every day, we meet with players in these future markets to understand their needs and adapt our platform accordingly.
Intermediaries play an essential role. They guarantee fluidity, liquidity and ensure market development :
– Intermediaries can seek this liquidity, or even hold the security for a period of time.
– They attract new issuers and investors.
– The time savings offered by intermediaries are considerable. When an issuer only deals with 4 or 5 intermediaries, a dealer or broker has more than 200 investors behind it. Knowing investors, their interest and capacity requires expertise and time that not all issuers necessarily have.
– They advise and negotiate the most adapted price.
The vast majority of digitized markets in finance use order book platforms. These platforms are not adapted to the transformation of the primary debt markets, because of their lack of flexibility in the negotiation process. Negotiation is at the heart of the platform. This allows issuers to always find an answer for their cash needs, regardless of the liquidity on the market. The platform is designed to operate without a critical mass of users.
“One often needs someone smaller than oneself.” Jean de La Fontaine
The platform is intended for all players. Our subscription policy allows both small and large issuers to find the formula that suits them.
The answer is quite simple : All currencies !
Thanks to our connection to Euroclear, you can now trade in the currency of your choice (EUR, USD, GBP, AUD, NZD, CNY, SEK etc).
