Perpetual acquires 70% stake in Interfi Systems to accelerate Corporate Trust segment
The news: Perpetual has acquired 70% stake in loan servicing technology provider Interfi Systems to accelerate the growth of its corporate trust division and expand its digital capabilities.
The context: Under the sale agreement, Perpetual will acquire a 70% stake in Interfi, with an option to acquire the remaining 30% by FY31. The transaction will be funded through the company’s internally generated cashflows, with completion expected before the end of June.
Interfi has approximately $55 billion in assets under administration and is a well-established loan servicing platform provider to the non-bank lending sector, supporting the full lifecycle of a loan from settlement to discharge.
Following its recent corporate restructuring, Perpetual expects its gross debt profile to decrease by 15% for the period ended 30 June, down from the $742 million in gross debt reported as of 31 December 2025.
What they said: “By combining Interfi’s technology platform with our Perpetual Intelligence platform, our aim is to have a broader, integrated, digital ecosystem and accelerate our ability to offer clients an automated end-to-end solution, from lending through to securitisation,” Perpetual corporate trust CEO Richard McCarthy said.
