Alpha announces securitization of shipping loans
Alpha Bank announced on Thursday it has successfully completed its second financing transaction of $250 million through shipping securitization with Citi, following the inaugural shipping securitization issuance of $500 million in 2014.
The transaction, which enhances and diversifies the bank’s liquidity position, is a non-recourse four-year term dollar funding with a unique structure and one of the very few shipping securitization transactions globally.
