In its presale report, S&P stated that the receivables designated to the master trust reflect a well-seasoned, geographically diversife prime portfolio with high FICO scores, long performance histories, and a high percentage of accounts making full payments. Also, the balances and credit limits are higher in 2014 than they were in 2007, before the financial crisis.
“The increase in balances and credit limits is attributable to the high concentration of mature accounts, which tend to have high credit limits and balances, and fewer newly originated accounts, which typically start out with lower limits and balances," stated S&P. "We consider the performance of mature accounts to be more predictable than that of newly originated accounts. “
The portfolio includes receivables from consumer accounts (approximately 89.4% of the receivables as of Aug. 7, 2014) and small business accounts (approximately 10.6% of the receivables as of Aug. 7, 2014).
