A loan assignment is a standard form of assignment under which a lender assigns its rights relating to a loan agreement to a new lender. Northern Arc Capital through its in-depth understanding of the fintech space and the customized requirements of investors, executed the transaction providing an efficient funding solution to EarlySalary.
Ashish Goyal, Co – Founder and CFO of EarlySalary elaborated, “The last few months have been challenging for NBFCs and with the evolving liquidity situation, we wanted to expand our liability profile, wherein we explored the opportunity of innovative products like loan assignments and securitisation. We have also done an NCD issuance of $2 million recently. We continue to look at all options to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to expand our offerings to the customers. This transaction marks our journey to deepen the liability side of the business and we expect to do many more transactions in the near future.”
Dr Kshama Fernandes, the CEO of Northern Arc added, “This transaction, set against the backdrop of a volatile market, is another proof of investors’ confidence in the quality of our partners and the stringent underwriting process of Northern Arc. Our modus operandi has been to start working with high potential entities when they are small to play an integral part in their growth story and our partnership with Early Salary exemplifies that.”
