Vivriti concludes Rs 50 cr securitisation transaction for Vistaar Financial Services
The transaction constitutes the first direct assignment of mortgage book for the Bangalore-based lender.
New Delhi: Vivriti Capital has successfully concluded Rs 50 crore securitisation deal for Vistaar Financial Services through its online debt platform. This is the first direct assignment transaction of mortgage book for the Bangalore-based lender. The pool was purchased by a large private sector bank. The underlying contracts consist of SME loans with ticket size between Rs 3-5 lakh.
Vistaar was set up in 2010 to cater to the underserved SME segment by offering it a full range of financial services customised to its requirements. The NBFC operates in 14 states through 220 branches and has lent to over 200,000 borrowers with a loan book of Rs 15 billion. It follows a credit underwriting methodology based on income assessment through non-traditional documents.
The quantum of the deal and the timing is significant given the concerns surrounding the NBFC sector. It also sends out a signal that investors are evaluating deals and NBFCs for their merit as opposed to taking a blanket view.
Commenting on the success of the deal, Sudesh Chinchewadi, CFO – Vistaar Financial Services, said, “We are happy to have closed our first Direct Assignment deal of Mortgage book. The deal is a validation of the fact that NBFCs with proven business models and robust credit processes will find market backing.
