The volatile securitization market fueled the structured-loan provider's record business last year.

The system of 11 regional banks issued a combined $137 billion of bonds and discount notes on Tuesday and Wednesday, after selling $112 billion on Monday, the largest single day of issuance in its 90-year history.

Borrowers had been in business for a WA 14 years, an average credit score of 708, and the assets had calculated receivables yield of 38.9%.

A $13.5 billion advance to Silicon Valley Bank months before its collapse is another sign that the Home Loan banks encourage risk-taking that can burden the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. or even the system itself, critics say.

Car loans are among the bread-and-butter products for credit unions, but slowing demand and growing delinquencies are putting some pressure on the category.

The unguaranteed loans are secured by one or more first-lien commercial real estate loans. The notes have a break-even default rate cushion of 2.39%.

Expected lifetime cumulative net loss is 9.25%, while higher note coupons, only partially offset by higher collateral interest rates, cut excess spread to 5.44%.

After months of speculation, Truist Financial has agreed to sell 20% of its insurance brokerage subsidiary to the private-equity firm Stone Point Capital for $1.95 billion. The deal was touted as a way to provide capital for expansion and increase earnings over time.

The 51 basis point increase was inevitable after the late payment rate reached a record low in the third quarter, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

A pullback by the buyers of Upstart's consumer loans led to a "challenging year," CEO Dave Girouard told analysts. But he added that the company is in "late-stage discussions" with partners that are looking to make longer-term commitments.
