Securitisation: Main benefits

Adapted to the financing of the working capital

  • The size of the program has no limit and can start at €50M or less if there is a “ramp-up” objective
  • The amounts can be adapted according to the evolution of the customer's activity
  • The structuring of the operation closely follows the needs and specificities of the client's activity (seasonality, long receivables, etc.)

Stable and flexible financing tool

  • A common funding platform
  • New subsidiaries or currencies can easily be added to the program
  • The commitment of the banks can be 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or more if necessary

Funding diversification and efficiency

  • Competitive all-in costs:
    • CP issued on the markets by the Conduit and highly rated
    • CP rating decorrelated from client rating
    • The client can benefit from part or all of the negative rate of the CP rate (the refinancing index of the conduit)
    • Access to the ABCP market (separate from the bond or banking market)
  • No impact on the bank's exposure in terms of consumption of commitment limits on the customer
