Accessing capital markets can be a significant hurdle for individual credit unions. Traditional barriers like minimum deal sizes and high fixed issuance costs often place securitization out of reach, limiting liquidity and growth potential. But what if there was a collaborative path forward that allows institutions of all sizes to tap into this powerful funding source?

Multi-issuer asset-backed securitizations (ABS) are changing the game, offering a proven strategy for credit unions to join forces, achieve the scale investors demand, and access cost-efficient capital. This cooperative model not only improves liquidity but also preserves the crucial ability to continue lending to your members.

Join us for an exclusive roundtable with the trailblazers who successfully executed the industry's first-ever multi-issuer auto loan ABS. They will share firsthand perspectives and hard-won insights from this landmark transaction, providing a practical blueprint for future deals.

In this webcast, you will learn:

  • The strategic benefits of a multi-issuer ABS transaction for improving liquidity and capital access.
  • Why leveraging the collective strength of multiple credit unions is essential for achieving scale and success.
  • Exclusive lessons learned from the inaugural collaborative ABS transaction—what worked and how to avoid pitfalls.
  • Key operational, legal, and coordination considerations for structuring your own successful deal.
