The Loan Market KYC Network That Tracks Sign-Off Like a Payment

The loan market's biggest settlement bottleneck isn't the trade — it's the KYC. We've built the only collaborative KYC network for the loan market: upload once, share with your counterparties, and see exactly where sign-off stands in real time.

The Cost of KYC Delays

Loan market KYC delays are costing your investors real money

Too often KYC is used as an excuse to settle trades late. The real issue is that no one has visibility into where the hold-up actually is. Without that transparency, nothing improves.

KYC is a three-way process between buyer, agent and seller. Not knowing which of those three has a gap creates huge settlement risk and costs your investors money every day the trade sits open.

Missed interest and CLO liabilities from a single delayed settlement round. Multiply that across a portfolio and the number becomes material fast.

The majority of that delay is not the trade — it’s chasing KYC across email chains with no audit trail, no visibility, and no urgency mechanism.

Buyer. Agent. Seller. All need to be KYC complete.
If any one of the three is not done, the trade fails. You need visibility into all three, not just your own position.
How Our KYC Network Works

A collaborative KYC network built for the loan market

Financial institutions, fund managers, and brokers share KYC status across a permissioned network — just like a professional social network, but built for compliance.

Upload & Share Your KYC Profile Once

Upload your KYC documentation once — investment manager details, legal entities, funds, UBOs, director IDs, tax IDs, financial statements. Open your profile to the counterparties you want to trade with.

Connect with Counterparties & Approve KYC

Send and receive “friend requests” to counterparties, borrowers and agents. Lenders maintain their own approved counterparty lists. Everyone sees the status of their KYC relationships at a glance.

Track KYC Sign-Off Status in Real Time

See exactly where your KYC stands with every counterparty — reviewed, pending, or flagged. Get notified the moment someone in your network signs off your fund profile. No more chasing emails.

Why Fund Managers Choose Our KYC Network

Four reasons fund managers use LedgerComm’s loan market KYC network

Stop losing days to KYC opacity. Start trading with confidence.

Efficient & Transparent KYC Sign-Off

Streamline the KYC process with quick sign-off across your counterparty network. Decide who to trade with based on real-time KYC review status — before you execute, not after.

Real-Time KYC Status Updates

Stay informed on the status of your KYC with live notifications from your counterparts. No more “I thought they had us on file” surprises on settlement day. Know before the trade, not during it.

Secure KYC Document Sharing

Upload and exchange KYC documents through our encrypted portal — not over email. Grant granular access to MLROs and heads of legal/compliance. Column-level database encryption keeps sensitive data protected.

Pre-Trade Counterparty KYC Check

See which counterparties have your fund on file before you execute a trade. Filter your entire unsettled trade book by KYC status to prioritise where your compliance team’s time is most needed.

KYC Data Security

Exchange KYC data through a secure portal — never over email

Email is not a secure channel for KYC data. We built a portal with the security standards that sensitive financial documents require.

Column-Level Encryption for KYC Data

Advanced security protocols encrypt your data at rest, not just in transit. Every document field is individually secured.

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA ensures links between profiles, people and places are verified. No unauthorised access to your counterparty data.

Permissioned Access Control

Separate access levels for MLROs, legal/compliance teams and operations. You control who sees what — always.

$50M

Lost when a fund sent KYC & SSI data over email

In 2023 a large private credit fund lost $50 million when hackers intercepted emails and changed settlement instruction details. The instructions looked legitimate. The money went to fraudsters. It’s an entirely avoidable risk.

KYC Network Use Cases

LedgerComm loan market KYC network in action

Two of the most common scenarios where our network eliminates delays and reduces risk.

New CLO Fund Launch: KYC Across Your Lender Network

Getting a new fund KYC’d across your entire lender network used to take weeks.

  1. Upload your fund documentation to your secure LedgerComm profile (investment manager, legal entities, UBOs, tax IDs)
  2. Invite your counterparty network with a single click — each party gets permissioned access to your fund profile
  3. Get notified the moment each counterparty has reviewed and signed off your fund
  4. Settle your trades immediately — with no KYC surprises on closing day

Secondary Loan Trade: Identifying the KYC Block

A secondary trade between buyer and seller with a KYC issue that blocks settlement.

  1. Agent runs a pre-trade KYC check — sees instantly which of buyer, seller or agent has an outstanding KYC gap
  2. Platform identifies the specific firm and entity lagging with onboarding — no more labyrinth of compliance dark pools
  3. Automated notification sent directly to the firm with outstanding action items
  4. KYC resolved and trade settles. Full audit trail stored in the platform for compliance reporting.
Upload your documents once. Share with your entire network.
