Collateral Management

Arch Lending emphasizes their commitment to never rehypothecating client assets (not lending out or trading collateral). All assets remain in secure cold storage with their custody partner.

Standard Loans: For these loans, Ledn has the right to lend the collateral to institutions to earn interest, which in turn, Ledn uses to lower the interest rate of these Standard loans.

Custodied Loans: The collateral you post to secure your loan may only be re-posted by Ledn to a trusted institutional USD funding partner, such as a bank, credit fund or other corporate funding partner.
