Structured Finance Terminology
Key terms and definitions for navigating the securitization landscape.
ABS (Asset-Backed Security)
A type of security backed by a pool of financial assets such as loans, receivables, or leases. The cash flows from the underlying assets are used to pay interest and principal to investors.
Borrowing Base
The total value of eligible collateral in a warehouse facility, typically calculated as the sum of eligible receivables multiplied by their respective advance rates.
Credit Enhancement
Structural features that protect senior investors from losses, including overcollateralization, subordination, excess spread, and reserve accounts.
Loan Tape
A detailed dataset containing loan-level information for every loan in a portfolio, including borrower characteristics, loan terms, payment history, and current status.
Tranche
A portion or slice of a structured security with specific risk, return, and maturity characteristics. Senior tranches have priority in the payment waterfall and typically carry higher ratings.
Waterfall
The order in which cash flows from the underlying asset pool are distributed to different tranches and accounts, including fees, interest payments, principal, and reserve accounts.
Warehouse Facility
A revolving credit line used by lenders to fund loan originations before they are pooled and sold through a securitization. Warehouse lenders take a senior secured position in the loans.
SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle)
A bankruptcy-remote legal entity created specifically to hold the assets being securitized, isolating them from the originator's balance sheet and credit risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Securitization-as-a-service is a technology platform that provides emerging lenders with the infrastructure, tools, and workflows needed to access securitization markets — without building an in-house capital markets team. finëtic handles data management, deal modeling, rating agency preparation, investor distribution, and ongoing reporting.
finëtic is designed for emerging and scaling lenders who originate consumer or commercial loans and want to access warehouse financing and/or the ABS market. This includes BNPL companies, consumer lenders, auto finance companies, revenue-based finance providers, and other specialty lenders.
Most lenders can be onboarded and have their data flowing through finëtic within 2-4 weeks. The timeline to your first securitization depends on your portfolio size, performance history, and deal structure, but typically ranges from 8-12 weeks on the platform.
For warehouse facility setup, there is no strict minimum, though most warehouse lenders prefer to see at least $10-25M in originations. For ABS issuance, the typical minimum deal size is $100M+, though this varies by asset class and market conditions.
