SYNDICATED LOAN DISTRIBUTED LEDGER PASS-THROUGH PROCESSING

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for utilizing distributed electronic ledger technology to process and record syndicated loan payments are provided. An agent address may receive an interest payment from a borrower address (e.g., interest accrual). The agent address may distribute the interest, pro rata, to members of a lender consortium and records the payments on the distributed electronic ledger. The distributed electronic ledger may provide and maintain a shared source of truth for event details associated with a syndicated loan. Facility agreements and corresponding utilizations (e.g., loans) may be represented on the distributed electronic ledger as smart contracts. As events occur, a corresponding record of each event is anchored to the facility/utilization smart contract, creating a chronological audit trail of all activity associated with the syndicated loan.
