Credivalores is a leading non-bank financial firm in Colombia that provides payroll and consumer loans services primarily intended to serve low- and middle-income individuals. The $100 million credit facility was raised for a newly created special purpose trust established in Colombia for the purpose of acquiring and holding loans originated by Credivalores’ Crediuno credit card business in the country.
The transaction includes loans provided directly to a special purpose trust established to purchase loan assets from Crediuno. In addition, the credit facility includes a novel borrowing structure with features focused on the verification and auditing of the loan origination process as well as Credivalores’ corporate governance.
Muñoz Aya advised Credivalores with a team comprising partners Edgar Muñoz and Lina Lineros and associates Gabriel Contreras, Alejandra Restrepo and Daniela Hoyos.
