Key Terms

forward flow agreement financial

A forward flow agreement is a contract in which one party agrees to sell a steady stream of future assets or receivables—such as loans, invoices, or production output—to another party over a set period at prearranged terms. For investors, it matters because it creates predictable cash flow and reduces uncertainty by locking in supply and prices or shifting credit risk, much like a standing order that guarantees regular deliveries and payments between two businesses.

asset-backed securitization financial

Asset-backed securitization is a process where a financial institution pools together a group of assets—such as loans or receivables—and converts them into a security that can be sold to investors. This allows the original lender to raise funds quickly, while investors gain access to a stream of payments derived from the underlying assets. It’s similar to bundling multiple small income sources into a single investment, providing both liquidity for lenders and investment opportunities for others.

abs financial

Asset-backed securities (ABS) are financial instruments that bundle many individual loans or receivables—such as car loans, credit-card balances or equipment leases—and sell slices of the bundle to investors. Like slicing a loaf of bread into pieces to share, ABS let investors buy a portion of the cash flows from many borrowers, so their credit quality, payment speed and default rates directly affect the income, risk and liquidity investors receive.

Pagaya’s inaugural POS forward flow agreement underscores continued strong institutional demand for Pagaya’s POS assets
Pagaya continues to diversify its funding program with multi-billion-dollar forward flow capacity across Personal Loans, Auto Loans, and Point-of-Sale

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pagaya Technologies LTD. (NASDAQ: PGY) (“Pagaya” or “the Company”), a global technology company delivering AI-driven product solutions for the financial ecosystem, today announced a new forward flow agreement with Sound Point Capital Management, LP (“Sound Point”), a leading global alternative credit manager with over $45 billion in assets under management, for the purchase of up to $720 million of point of sale (“POS”) loans sourced through Pagaya’s platform.

This agreement marks Pagaya’s first forward flow transaction for its POS program, reflecting a focus on scaling efficient, repeatable capital solutions with long-term institutional partners across its product portfolio.

“Pagaya has built a differentiated, institutional-grade platform for accessing consumer credit. We’re excited to partner with Pagaya to support the continued growth of its point-of-sale strategy, while offering our investors consistent exposure to short-duration assets with highly attractive risk-adjusted returns and durable income,” said Philip Bartow, Head of Specialty Finance and Fintech Lending & Portfolio Manager at Sound Point.
