In a move reflecting the ongoing reliance on capital markets to fund fintech growth, Funding Circle has successfully finalized its latest securitization transaction. This milestone marks the company's tenth securitization deal, bringing the cumulative total value of securitized assets to £2.5 billion. According to reports, the transaction represents a continuation of the firm's strategy to leverage securitization as a primary funding mechanism for its lending activities.
