Mizuho is also adopting the Versana Reconciliation Module into its workflows, which electronically matches lenders’ positions to agents’ golden-source position data. This industry-leading solution reduces discrepancies and improves the accuracy of loan positions used in internal accounting, portfolio management and risk management systems across the loan lifecycle.
“We’re excited to partner with Versana as we further advance our lending infrastructure by incorporating new digital capabilities,” said Matthew Wilson, Managing Director at Mizuho. “Versana’s innovative platform enables us to gain transparency and use better quality data to achieve straight-through processing. By materially streamlining operations and strengthening data integrity, we can better serve our global stakeholders with the most timely and highest quality loan data available.”

Mizuho’s subscription to Versana marks another key milestone in the company’s mission to modernize the broadly syndicated loan asset class. Versana now offers facility data on $5 trillion in notional commitments on its next-generation platform.
