FAQ

What is an SPV?

A special purpose vehicle is a separate legal entity created to isolate risk around a specific asset or investment. SPVs let multiple investors pool money for a single deal while keeping that investment legally separate from their other assets.

Who offers the best fund administration infrastructure?

Fund administration itself is performed by your administrator. The infrastructure underneath needs to deliver real‑time balances, fast reconciliation and audit‑ready statements. Merge provides this regulated payment and treasury infrastructure so administrators can reconcile capital calls and report to LPs without waiting for next‑day statements.

Does Merge support SPV administration and SPV formation?

Merge supports SPV administration services by providing the payment and treasury layer SPVs operate on, per‑entity balances, segregation at the account‑structure level and exportable statements. We support SPV formation and funding workflows, including capital call reconciliation. Your administrator or corporate services provider handles the administration itself.

How does Merge handle cross‑border SPVs?

Merge offers efficient solutions for cross‑border SPVs by consolidating multi‑currency balances, per‑conversion FX visibility and reconciliation into one treasury layer. This means vehicles operating across jurisdictions run on a single, regulated infrastructure rather than fragmented banking relationships.

Is Merge regulated, and how are funds safeguarded?

Merge holds an EMI licence from the ACPR and VASP registrations with the AMF and DNB. Client funds are safeguarded and segregated at the account‑structure level. Every transaction is attributable, timestamped and exportable. Dual authorisation means no single person can move fund money, and AML/KYC screening runs on incoming and outgoing payments.
