Sachin Bansal's Navi Finserv Secures $38 Mn In Securitisation Deal With J.P. Morgan

Navi Finserv announced today that it has closed a USD 38 million personal loans securitization deal with J.P. Morgan.

The transaction structured in the form of pass-through certificates (PTC) will be backed by a pool of unsecured personal loans, originated and serviced by Navi Finserv. This is J.P. Morgan’s first pass-through certificate transaction in the fintech space in India and the first unsecured personal loans backed PTC transaction in India.

Navi Finserv will use the funds to expand further and grow its digital personal loans business. Digital lending is accelerating in India and constitutes a significant portion of the overall Indian fintech market. Market share is expected to rise to 60% of the total fintech market by 2030, fueled by increasing smartphone penetration, internet usage, and the need for faster and convenient loan disbursals. Navi Finserv’s lending platform will capitalize on new technological advancements to be a part of India's growing digital lending segment.

Sachin Bansal, Executive Chairman & CEO, Navi Finserv Limited, said, “We are happy to announce our partnership with J.P. Morgan and the successful completion of the PTC transaction. This deal serves as a substantial endorsement of the high quality of our loan portfolio and the sustained growth that Navi has been able to achieve in the past few years. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with J.P. Morgan even further in the future.”
