Contingency Collateral Options

last updated on Monday, November 23, 2020 in Member Services

In addition to maximizing pledged loan collateral, it is important to consider additional options for quickly pledging collateral to avoid a collateral shortfall. Collateral shortfalls can result from the regular repricing, amortization, or maturity of collateral, changes in loan eligibility or your adjusted Eligibility Factor, or a delay in your ability to meet loan listing or delivery requirements before a deadline.
