Who is our customer

FMO invested US$ 30 million into a seven year loan to be issued by Davivienda Salvadoreno DPR Funding Ltd., an offshore special purpose company (SPC), and secured by all Diversified Payment Rights of Davivienda El Salvador, as a part of a private placement. The primarily source of repayment under the proposed transaction will be cash flows generated by the Bank under DPRs. However, in case of default, FMO will also have a direct recourse to the Bank. Founded in 1885 as Banco Salvadoreno, DavES is the oldest and currently the second largest bank in El Salvador. With US$ 1.5 bln in total assets, 15.0% market share, a country-wide presence, and a diverse deposit base, DavES is a systemic bank and as such is rated at the country ceiling level of BB+ by Fitch.

What is our funding objective?

This structure allows the borrower to attract wider investor group, achieve longer maturity and/or cheaper cost of funding. DPR is suitable for systemically important banks processing substantial percentage of foreign cash flows in high risk countries that depend strongly on exports and remittances.

Why do we fund this investment?

This transaction is the first in El Salvador since 2006, as commercial demand for DPRs dried up after the 2008-2009 crisis, and will reopen DPR funding channel for the bank and peers in the region.
