FAQs about Securitisations

Securitisation is a method used by banks to draw funds from international or domestic capital markets. In the context of securitisation, the bank's claims are transferred by way of sale to a credit servicing company. The acquiring company then issues bonds backed by the claims transferred to it, which are repaid with the amount collected for the transferred claims.

The bank that issued your loan may proceed with the securitisation of its claims, including the claim arising from your loan.

In this case, the claim from your loan is transferred to a special purpose vehicle or SPV.

In turn, this company assigns the management and servicing to a credit servicing company. The credit servicing company contacts you about your debt settlement.

Securitisation is carried out based on internationally accepted quality criteria applied by each bank. If your loan has been securitised, it met these criteria.

No. The law on securitisation does not require debtor consent.

Pursuant to Articles 10 and 14(13) of Law 3156/2003 on “Bond loans, securitisation of claims and claims from real estate”, the bank may securitise its claims, including those concerning you, and transfer them to a special purpose vehicle.

There are no grounds for exclusion. The law does not require your consent for securitisation.
