MBNA Europe Bank has imported delinked securitization technology from the US, increasing the flexibility of its European credit card-backed ABS deals.
Until now, European credit card deals have been single-issuance, full capital structure deals. In a delinked deal, an issuer can issue tranches of securitized debt without having to issue differently rated tranches at the same time. If each tranche meets its enhancement requirement, then, subject to repayment tests, an issuer can sell junior and senior notes at different times and with different maturities.
