The partnership focuses on automating critical aspects of Multitude Bank’s ABL processes. Cardo AI’s platform integrates loan, collateral, and counterparty data into a single system, providing real-time insights into portfolio performance and covenant compliance.

This technological backbone supports scalable operations for financial institutions entering or expanding in private credit markets.
“Our clients expect both speed and reliability,” said Alain Nydegger, CEO of Wholesale Banking at Multitude Group. “By working with innovative technology partners, we can scale our asset-based lending operations more efficiently. Consolidating our ABL activities onto a unified platform allows us to deliver faster responses with more flexible structures, while maintaining the transparency and audit-ready oversight that regulators and investors require.” By centralizing operations, Multitude Bank achieves streamlined regulatory and accounting reporting, reducing manual efforts and ensuring accurate records. This setup not only boosts operational efficiency but also enhances transparency for stakeholders.
