| PRODUCT UPDATE | In direct lending, Payment-in-Kind (PIK) interest offers flexibility for managing stressed situations, such as when borrowers are unable to pay cash interest. In today’s competitive market, private credit providers often use PIK terms to offer more attractive deals to borrowers by forgoing traditional cash payments. However, managing PIK debt can be complex. From tracking non-cash interest to keeping up with ever-changing terms, the process can lead to errors and uncertainty. At CARDO AI, we’ve developed an automated solution for managing PIK loans: 🔸 Configure flexibly: Tailor PIK terms to match your legal agreements with ease. 🔸 Automate calculations: Let the system handle complex interest computations and eliminate manual errors. 🔸 Access instantly: View historical PIK terms quickly without reopening contracts. 🔸 Update seamlessly: Modify or remove PIK terms to align with contractual changes effortlessly. ➡️  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dMtpCxvN #PIKDebt #Lending #PIK #privatecredit
