Nunchi Marine Pte Ltd is a homegrown, independent energy and commodities company based in Singapore. It has operations and trading footprints spanning across the Asia Pacific to the Middle East region. By joining Komgo and adopting Check, Nunchi Marine ensures the security and stability of all its KYC processes globally.
Nunchi Marine is an established company in Southeast Asia. Leveraging on Singapore’s strategic location and its experience, it manages global supply, trading and logistics for various oil and refined petroleum products, with an average of over 200,000 metric tons of such products traded on a monthly basis.
The problem
As a provider of reliable and customisable solutions for oil cargo and bunker trades in the region, Nunchi Marine manages a high volume of transactions and counterparties. Before implementing the solution, its KYC processes were primarily manual, involving thousands of documents exchanged via email each year. This approach was becoming increasingly resource-intensive—slowing down onboarding, raising operational overhead, and introducing potential security risks through email-based exchanges of sensitive information.
Rather than viewing these challenges as obstacles, Nunchi Marine saw a strategic opportunity to transform its Know Your Customer (KYC) process into a more automated system. This shift not only saw reductions in costs and errors, but also bolstered data security, creating a more robust framework for compliance. Most importantly, this transition enhances the overall experience for their counterparties during the KYC process.
The Solution - Check by Komgo
To support its digital transformation, Nunchi Marine integrated Komgo’s Check solution into its internal processes—addressing key priorities around efficiency, security, and compliance.
Check enabled Nunchi Marine to accelerate and streamline KYC document collection and verification, using a fully digital and customised onboarding form to standardise the data received from counterparties.
This improved onboarding speed while reducing manual work and human error, which is critical as its business scales. Beyond automation, the platform also offers real-time reminders and alerts, allowing teams to anticipate upcoming renewals and prioritise efforts effectively. Sensitive data is now exchanged through structured workflows, enhancing traceability, audit readiness, and alignment with internal compliance objectives.
“Check is a key component of our digitalization efforts in the onboarding process, ensuring an audit trail, secure information and document exchange with counterparties, and establishing strong business standards and a solid reputation.”
— Benson Quek, Chief Operating Officer, Nunchi Marine
