Securitization of credit card receivables Sample Clauses

Securitization of credit card receivables. We utilize a securitization program to finance a majority of the credit card receivables that we underwrite. We use our off-balance sheet securitization program to lower our cost of funds and more efficiently use capital. In a securitization transaction, we sell credit card receivables originated by our Private Label Credit segment to a trust and retain servicing rights to those receivables, an equity interest in the trust and an interest in the receivables. Our securitization trusts allow us to sell credit card receivables to the trusts on a daily basis. The securitization trusts are deemed to be qualifying special purpose entities under GAAP and are appropriately not included in our financial statements. Our interest in our securitization program is represented on our consolidated balance sheets as seller’s interest (our interest in the receivables) and due from securitizations (our retained interests and credit enhancement components). The trusts issue bonds in the capital markets and notes in private transactions. The proceeds from the bonds and other debt are used to fund the receivables, while cash collected from cardholders is used to finance new receivables and repay borrowings and related borrowing costs. The excess spread is remitted to us as securitization income. Our retained interest, often referred to as an interest-only strip, is recorded at fair value. The fair value of our interest-only strip represents the present value of the anticipated cash flows we will receive over the estimated life of the receivables, which is 8.5 months. This anticipated excess cash flow consists of the excess of finance charges and past-due fees net of the sum of the return paid to bond and note holders, estimated contractual servicing fees and credit losses. Because there is not a highly liquid market for these assets, we estimate the fair value of the interest-only strip primarily based upon discount, payment and default rates, which is the method we assume that another market participant would use to purchase the interest-only strip. The fair value of the interest-only strip, and the corresponding gain or loss, will be impacted by the estimated excess spread over the following two or three quarters. The excess spread is impacted primarily by finance and late fees collected, net charge-offs and interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the interest-only strip are reflected in our financial statements as additional gains related to new receivables originated ...

Securitization of credit card receivables. The Company regularly securitizes its credit card receivables to the WFN Trusts. During the initial phase of a securitization reinvestment period, the Company generally retains principal collections in exchange for the transfer of additional credit card receivables into the securitized pool of assets. During the amortization or accumulation period of a securitization, the investors’ share of principal collections (in certain cases, up to a maximum specified amount each month) is either distributed to the investors or held in an account until it accumulates to the total amount due, at which time it is paid to the investors in a lump sum. The Company’s outstanding securitizations are scheduled to begin their amortization or accumulation periods at various times between 2008 and 2012 and thereafter. The following table shows the maturities of borrowing commitments as of December 31, 2007 for the WFN Trusts by year: 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 & Thereafter Total (In thousands) Public notes $ 600,000 $ 500,000 $ — $ 450,000 $ 500,000 $ 2,050,000 Private conduits(1) 2,085,714 — — — — 2,085,714 Total $ 2,685,714 $ 500,000 $ — $ 450,000 $ 500,000 $ 4,135,714
