KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Reach ABS Trust 2022-2

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes issued by Reach ABS Trust 2022-2 (“REACH 2022-2”), an unsecured consumer loan ABS transaction.

REACH 2022-2 will issue four classes of notes totaling $161.77 million, collateralized by a trust certificate backed by unsecured consumer loans. Credit enhancement consists of excess spread, overcollateralization, subordination (in the case of the Class A, Class B and Class C Notes) and a reserve account funded at closing.

This transaction represents Reach Financial, LLC’s (“Reach”, the “Servicer” or the “Company”) fifth rated securitization. The Company issued its first rated securitization in November 2019. Reach was founded in 2015, is based in New York, NY and is an independent company that shares common ownership with National Debt Relief, LLC (“NDR”). Individual owners of NDR own the majority of Reach, with the remaining equity interest distributed among Reach’s management team and key employees. Reach is the only lending platform used by NDR. The Company, previously known as Liberty Lending LLC, rebranded itself as Reach Financial, LLC in May 2022. The Company has been profitable starting in 2018 and through August 31, 2022. As of August 31, 2022, Reach had $517 million in loan receivables outstanding in its managed portfolio.

KBRA applied its Consumer Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology as part of its analysis of the portfolio pool data, underlying collateral pool and capital structure. KBRA considered its operational reviews of Reach, as well as periodic update calls with the Company. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.
