Forest Park

What Forest Park does

Forest Park Group, LLC is a private fintech company founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York, with an additional office in San Mateo, California. The company builds blockchain-based infrastructure targeting the syndicated and leveraged loan market, where average settlement times of 23 days in North America (and 6+ weeks in Europe) create substantial information asymmetry and deadweight loss estimated at roughly 300 basis points.

The company's core product is LoanOS, a private, permissioned, token-agnostic distributed-ledger platform that uses UTXO-based cryptography (LoanOS 1.0) and DAG-based cryptographic schemes (LoanOS 2.0 onward) combined with smart contracts and cloud infrastructure to automate loan settlement. The platform is delivered as an API-first SaaS product through the LoanOS FinSec protocol, which isolates lender data and grants granular access controls to credit platforms. A second product, Parlake (hosted at parlake.app), functions as a distributed operating system for transaction management, intended to compress trade closing times from weeks to days. The platform reports reducing settlement time to as low as T+1 (11 minutes in a test scenario) and reducing deadweight loss from approximately 300bps to 68bps.

Forest Park monetizes through subscription-based SaaS pricing delivered via multi-year enterprise contracts, sold directly to institutional lenders, credit platforms, and syndicated loan market participants through a consultative field-sales motion supported by dedicated Customer Success Managers. The company is backed by Advanced Blockchain, Franklin Templeton, and EvoNexus, has between 1-10 employees, and discloses no customer logos, revenue figures, or institutional sales to date.

Core offering

Forest Park Group provides blockchain-based software infrastructure for institutional syndicated loan settlement. Its core offerings include LoanOS, a loan settlement platform that reduces settlement times from an industry average of 23 days to as low as T+1 via smart-contract APIs and distributed ledger technology, and Parlake, a distributed operating system that reduces trade closing time from weeks to days for transaction-intensive financial organizations. Both products serve institutional lenders and credit platforms seeking to reduce manual reconciliation, information asymmetry, and operational inefficiencies in the leveraged loan market.

Product overview

Forest Park offers two core products: LoanOS and Parlake. LoanOS is the primary platform focused on syndicated loan settlement, featuring the LoanOS FinSec protocol for data isolation and granular security controls. Parlake is a complementary distributed operating system for transaction management. Both products are designed for institutional lenders and aim to reduce settlement times from weeks to days using blockchain and API-driven technologies.

Direct peers

• R3: R3 builds Corda, an enterprise distributed ledger platform purpose-built for financial services — including capital markets infrastructure such as syndicated lending, trade finance, and securities settlement. Highly comparable to Forest Park Group's LoanOS in that both target DLT-mediated institutional post-trade workflows with privacy/permissioning as a core design principle.
• Digital Asset Holdings: Digital Asset builds SmartContract/DAML-based distributed ledger applications for capital markets participants, including syndicated loans, repo, and securities settlement. It directly competes with Forest Park Group in delivering DLT post-trade infrastructure to institutional lenders and agents.
• Axoni: Axoni operates an enterprise DLT network focused on capital markets — most notably the syndicated loan market through initiatives such as the syndicated loan trade reporting platform. Closely comparable to Forest Park Group as a permissioned blockchain solution for syndicated loan settlement and trade processing.
• HQLAx: HQLAx uses DLT to enable real-time transfers of baskets of securities collateral, addressing liquidity friction in financial markets. Comparable to Forest Park Group in deploying blockchain infrastructure to reduce friction and information asymmetry in institutional post-trade and settlement workflows.
• Baton Systems: Baton Systems provides post-trade processing and FX netting/settlement technology for capital markets participants, including a focus on reducing settlement latency and improving intra-day liquidity management. Directly comparable to Forest Park Group's LoanOS as an enterprise post-trade technology provider for institutional financial institutions.
• Symbiont: Symbiont built enterprise blockchain software for capital markets, specifically targeting syndicated loan registry and other post-trade use cases (now has wound down restructured operations). Comparable to Forest Park Group as a DLT-native post-trade infrastructure provider for syndicated lending and securities.

Broad incumbents

• Finastra: Finastra operates as a large incumbent financial technology vendor providing syndicated loan origination, loan trading, and treasury software (including Loan IQ). Comparable to Forest Park Group in serving institutional lenders in the syndicated loan market, but as a much broader incumbent rather than a DLT-specialist fintech.
• Broadridge Financial Solutions: Broadridge provides post-trade technology, data, and communications infrastructure to financial services firms globally, including solutions adjacent to loan trade processing. Comparable to Forest Park Group as a broad incumbent supplying operational infrastructure to institutional capital markets participants that competes with newer DLT-based entrants.
• FIS (Fidelity National Information Services): FIS is a major global financial technology incumbent providing loan servicing, syndication, and capital markets infrastructure to banks and lenders. Comparable to Forest Park Group as a much larger vendor selling syndicated-loan and related post-trade technology, against which DLT-native challengers like FPG must compete.

Others

• Mphasis: Mphasis is an IT services and digital transformation vendor with significant capital markets and blockchain practice work, including loan syndication digitization projects. Related to Forest Park Group as an adjacent ecosystem participant with overlap into syndicated-loan technology delivery, though it operates primarily as a system integrator rather than a product company.
