KBRA Assigns a Preliminary Rating to LendingPoint Pass-Through Trust, Series 2022-ST4

KBRA assigns a preliminary rating to one class of notes issued by LendingPoint Pass-Through Trust, Series 2022-ST4 (“LPPT 2022-ST4”), a $57.675 million consumer loan ABS transaction. The preliminary rating reflects initial credit enhancement of 31.50%. Credit enhancement consists of overcollateralization and excess spread.

This transaction represents the eleventh KBRA-rated securitization collateralized by unsecured consumer installment loans originated through the online platform operated by LendingPoint LLC (“LendingPoint” or the “Company”) and the fourth series issued from the LendingPoint Pass-Through Trust (“LPPT” or “Master Trust”) program. Founded in July 2014, LendingPoint is a wholly owned subsidiary of LendingPoint Holdings LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LendingPoint Consolidated, Inc. The Company currently offers two different loan products: DTC and point of need (“PON”); however, only DTC loans will be included in LPPT 2022-ST4. DTC loans are typically used by the borrowers for either debt consolidation or credit card refinancing, to pay for a home improvement or to make a major purchase while PON loans are used to finance a purchase at one of the Company’s approved merchants.

KBRA applied its Consumer Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology as part of its analysis of the transaction’s underlying collateral pool and the proposed capital structure. KBRA considered its operational review of LendingPoint, as well as periodic update calls with the Company. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.
