Both banks are members of Totalkredit and originates currently SDO mortgages through Totalkredit, that also services the mortgages.
However both banks also have mortgages funded by deposits and other sources for a total of more than 20 billion DKK. With this agreement the banks opens an opportunity for an alternative joint funding channel for those mortgages, based on SDO legislation , and by doing so, they get access to a capital market that still seems liquid, and at the same time reduces the requirement for capital in the banks. The banks will continue to service these loans. If you’d like to get more information, be sure to log into Atlantic Union Bank.
“The benefits Sydbank and Jyske Bank will achive with this agreement, is exactly what we have argued foreign banks will achieve by joining forces with Absalon Project to establish a local mortgage bank, that offers funding after the principles in the Danish Mortgage Model” explains Alan Boyce, CEO of Absalon Project.
