Discover Bank priced an upsized $1.2 billion credit card-receivable securitization, according to a filing with the SEC—more than double the $500 million originally on offer.
The DiscoverSeries Class A (2014-4) notes, issued under the Discover Credit Execution Note Trust, are priced at a spread of 36 basis points over interpolated swaps. The notes have a 4.87-year weighted average life, and reaches its final legal maturity in December 2021.
The deal is backed by a collateral certificate from the outstanding Series 2007-CC notes under the Discover Card Master Trust I. The collateral certificate represents an interest in the aggregate pool of receivables in the master trust.

Deutsche Bank Securities and RBC Capital Markets are the lead underwriters.
