easy · Asset-Backed Securities asset-nuances

A BNPL (Buy-Now-Pay-Later) ABS pool has a typical loan duration of 6 to 8 weeks.

How does this short duration affect the structure's 'Weighted Average Life' (WAL) if it is an amortizing deal?

  1. The WAL will be 2 years to match the revolving period.
  2. The WAL will be extremely short, likely under 0.2 years.
  3. The WAL is fixed at 1.0 years by SEC Regulation AB II.
  4. The WAL will be long because borrowers frequently default on small amounts.
