SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Freedom Financial Network, a leading consumer-centric financial services company and the parent company of Freedom Financial Asset Management (FFAM), has closed its 10th securitization, placing $230.5 million of rated notes.
This securitization, 4.8 times oversubscribed by investors, is the first FreedomPlus-specific deal to receive an AAA rating from Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA). FreedomPlus loans help consumers consolidate debt, lower interest rates and convert revolving debt into lower-cost, more consumer-friendly installment loans. FreedomPlus loans are originated by Cross River Bank® and MetaBank®, N.A.
"The AAA rating confirms the strong performance and market leadership of FFAM, and in particular, FreedomPlus loans," says Joseph Toms, president and chief investment officer of FFAM. "We continue to help consumers move along a path to financial health while offering investors strong risk-adjusted returns."
The Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D fixed-rate notes were rated AAA (sf), AA- (sf), A- (sf) and BBB- (sf) by KBRA. The Class A, Class B and Class C fixed-rate notes were rated AA (high) (sf), AA (sf) and A(i) (sf) by DBRS Morningstar. The D class notes were not rated by DBRS.
Underwriting the transaction was Credit Suisse, serving as lead-left book runner; Jefferies, lead-right book runner; and Truist Securities, co-manager. In addition, this securitization is bringing in four new investors.
Issuance across all 10 Freedom Financial Network (FFN) securitization transactions now totals nearly $3 billion. Total loan originations through the FFAM platform now exceed $6.1 billion. More than $3.7 billion are through FreedomPlus personal loans.
"As a leader in providing consumers with solutions to support every step in their financial journeys, we continue to offer innovative and highly customized loan products to help people overcome debt and reach their financial goals," says Andrew Housser, co-founder and co-CEO of FFN. "The milestone of a 10th securitization, with issuance reaching $3 billion, is strong validation from both consumers and investors that our approach is a sound one."
