The American Bankers Association's latest Credit Conditions Index points to a drop in lending and a rise in loan delinquencies through the second and third quarters.

But overall availability still remained near a 10-year low in March, with government-backed products falling for the third time in four months, the Mortgage Bankers Association found.

Small and regional banks have been rocked by deposit outflows following the demise of Silicon Valley Bank, raising concerns that will crimp their ability to provide finance to borrowers.

Lenders are bracing for more companies to fall behind on their loan payments. That could create more opportunities for banks to dispose of these nonperforming credits through an Article 9 sale.

Some concerns linger over the sector after Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last month. The most pressing worry now, analysts say, is not whether banks will survive but how much money they'll make in the coming months.

Initial hard credit enhancement for the class A notes is lower, at 37.30%, because of lower subordination in the deal.

Some new loan sales, as well as transactions designed to extend the due dates on existing debt, have also been pushed to the sidelines.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen repeated her comment from a day earlier that the government's recent actions were "taken to ensure that Americans' deposits are safe." She sought to clarify it with a new line: "Certainly, we would be prepared to take additional actions if warranted."

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says it has extended the deadline for bids on Silicon Valley Bank, will break the bank into two parts for sale and will allow nonbanks to bid on asset portfolios.

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.
