Resurs Holding has previously announced that it is working to diversify its financing. Resurs Holding already has three major sources of financing through its subsidiary Resurs Bank: deposits from the public via savings accounts, a Medium Term Note (MTN) programme and Asset Backed Securities (ABS) financing.
As part of this work, Resurs Bank AB (publ) has expanded and extended its existing ABS financing, which comprises a securitisation of consumer loans, a form of structured financing, also referred to as Asset Backed Securities.
In the initial ABS financing that took place in June 2015, consumer loans amounting to a carrying amount of approximately SEK 1.8 billion were securitised. The financing is now being expanded to approximately SEK 2.7 billion and Resurs Bank with a new revolving period of 18 months..
For Resurs Bank, this means that external financing will be extended from SEK 1.4 billion to SEK 2.1 billion.
This financing will take place with the assistance of a leading international bank.
