In our latest podcast episode, we discuss the digitalisation of syndicated loans. Digital promissory note platforms are now commonplace. In the lending sector, and particularly when it comes to syndicated loans, we are not quite there yet. The concept is still in its infancy. Our guest today, Markus Nowak, arranged a syndicated loan digitally in 2023 for the pharmaceutical services provider Vetter, based in Ravensburg, Upper Swabia – making Vetter the first company in the world to do so.

Today’s podcast episode focuses on how the company went about this transaction, the problems and challenges it had to overcome, and the benefits of the digital approach.
