ZILO™, the UK-based, AI-driven technology company specialising  in global asset and wealth management software, announces the launch of its fully  integrated Digital Transfer Agency platform – the first to unify traditional mutual fund  administration with digital asset capabilities including digitally native issuance, all within a  single platform.  

Alongside this, ZILO announces a strategic partnership with Ripple, a leader in enterprise  blockchain-based financial infrastructure. 

ZILO provides institutional clients with a single integrated platform approach that eliminates  the need for separate technology stacks for digital and traditional assets, reducing  operational complexity and cost for asset managers and fund administrators. 

The platform enables clients to: 

• Mint and tokenise traditional fund units (digital twin) on distributed ledger  infrastructure 

• Issue digitally native securities and atomically settle on-chain 

• Facilitate on-chain compliance and collateral mobility 

• Manage both traditional and digital assets through a unified operational framework • Leverage ZILO's existing enterprise-grade Transfer Agency capabilities: settlement,  reconciliation, payments, corporate actions, and regulatory reporting, across both  asset types. 

ZILO continues to grow its client base including systemically important global financial  institutions. 

As part of this announcement, Ripple joins ZILO as a strategic investor. The partnership  brings together ZILO's institutional fund administration expertise with Ripple's digital capital  markets infrastructure built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). 

ZILO is providing Ripple with a Digital Transfer Agency (DTA) solution, extending ZILO's  platform capabilities to serve Ripple's growing institutional client base in digital capital  markets. The partnership positions both companies at the forefront of the convergence  between traditional finance and digital assets. At the centre of the platform is a 

configuration-led approach to asset design. Fund structures, share classes, and jurisdictional  rules are set through an intuitive interface, which the platform then translates into logic  ready for on-chain deployment, removing the need for institutions to write code or rely on  developer resources to bring an asset to market or adapt it as regulatory requirements  evolve. 

The platform tracks legal ownership in real time as assets change hands, enabling  institutions to extend the use of digital assets into collateral, margin, repo, and treasury  workflows with full lifecycle visibility and full confidence in who owns what at any given  moment. 

"The future of fund administration is not a choice between traditional and digital; it is the  seamless integration of both. ZILO has built the only platform that treats transfer agency as  a single capability regardless of whether the underlying asset is a traditional mutual fund or  a tokenised product. Our partnership with Ripple reinforces this vision and accelerates our  ability to deliver transformative infrastructure to the world's largest financial institutions," comments Phil Goffin, Founder & CEO, ZILO.
