Bridging finance operations: managing complex co-funder arrangements

Bridging finance is short-term, urgent and often co-funded. When a bridge settles, the interest split across fund partners — each with different terms — has to be right, fast.

The urgency problem

Bridge deals settle on short timelines. A payout calculation that takes half a day by hand is a bottleneck at exactly the moment speed matters.

Complex arrangements, automatic application

Each co-funder's model — split or fixed, with penalty and reward rates — is configured once and applied automatically at settlement. The operator's retained margin is visible in the same schedule.

Compliance on a short fuse

Bridge operations can't assemble audit trails on demand. The platform keeps the trail continuously — NCA pre-screening, maker-checker approvals, immutable history.
