Commenting on the ABS transaction, David Stevens, Harmoney's CEO & Managing Director said: "The Harmoney team has been instrumental in pivoting the business from what was a peer-to-peer lending business less than two years ago, to now having three warehouses, two of these being provided by two of the "Big 4" banks, and now entering the ABS market. "Our inaugural securitisation allowed Harmoney to test its lending model and systems to enter the ABS market. The results we have achieved provide clear validation of the quality of our Australian loan book, materially reduce our cost of funding, underpin a significant release of capital and diversify our funding sources. "Now we have our first asset-backed securitisation (ABS) established, this is just the start of our ABS program across Australia and New Zealand. Assuming similar market conditions, we anticipate a New Zealand securitisation in early calendar year 2022. Given the size of the New Zealand loan book, this is expected to be a significantly larger ABS transaction."
