How does it work?

Loans, credit or leases covered by a portfolio guarantee are granted and documented by selected financial intermediaries in accordance with their internal policies and procedures.

A portfolio guarantee secures a repayment of 80% of a loan, credit or lease to a financial intermediary. This rate applies to each transaction included in the financial intermediary portfolio, but the total amount of INVEGA's payouts cannot exceed the cap on payouts.
