LDMS

What LDMS does

LDMS (Link Data Management Solutions Limited) is a UK-headquartered enterprise software vendor providing cloud-based loan and credit lifecycle management solutions to financial institutions across Europe. Established in September 2018 as a spin-off from Link Financial Group, the company commercialized proprietary credit software that had been developed and used internally since 1998. Its platform supports the full credit lifecycle — from customer engagement and onboarding through loan servicing, collections, and distressed debt resolution — with multi-jurisdictional, multi-language, and multi-currency capabilities spanning 9-10 European countries and managing €60-63bn in client assets across 5-7 million customer accounts.

The platform is architected around a core Engage module, extended by four vertical-specific product modules (Engage for Asset Finance, Engage for Consumer and Business Finance, Engage for Mortgage Lending, and Engage for Motor Finance) plus two add-on modules: Collect for digital collections and Resolve for distressed real-estate loan workout. Built on cloud-native SaaS architecture and delivered as a fully managed experience, the platform handles contracts, customer data, document generation, accounting entries, payment processing, configurable workflows, and customer self-service portals. LDMS holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications and operates an engineering and R&D hub in Cardiff alongside a registered office in London.

LDMS generates revenue through multi-year subscription contracts on a quote-based enterprise pricing model, supported by a 60-strong professional services team that handles implementation. Distribution is enterprise-led via direct field sales and demo-driven engagement. The company is a subsidiary of LC Financial Holdings (formerly Link Financial Group), with LC Financial Holdings serving as its flagship customer. There are no external funding rounds, M&A transactions, or public listings disclosed, indicating organic growth financed within the parent group.
