securitization financial
Securitization is when a bank or company takes a bunch of loans or assets, like mortgages or car loans, and bundles them together into a single package. They then sell pieces of this package to investors, who receive regular payments from the borrowers. This process helps the original lender get money quickly and spreads the risk among many investors.

Key facts:

  • Glencore’s $2.55B oil and gas trade securitization is one of the largest oil and gas trade receivables transactions ever executed.
  • Powering the transaction, the highly scaled FIS Supply Chain Finance Platform enables real-time monitoring and transparent receivables reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
