DBRS Morningstar Confirms Ratings on OnDeck Asset Securitization Trust III LLC

Other
May 02, 2022

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed its ratings on the following classes of notes issued by OnDeck Asset Securitization Trust III LLC:

-- Series 2021-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class A at AAA (sf)
-- Series 2021-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class B at A (sf)
-- Series 2021-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class C at BBB (sf)
-- Series 2021-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class D at BB (sf)

The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction analysis considers DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary “Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns March 2022 Update,” published on March 24, 2022. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020. Despite several new or increasing risks, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, rising inflation, and new coronavirus variants, the overall outlook for growth and employment in the United States remains relatively positive.

-- Credit enhancement is in the form of overcollateralization, a reserve account, subordination, and excess spread. Credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS Morningstar-expected losses at their current respective rating levels.

-- Credit quality of the collateral pool and historical performance, and the ability of the transaction to perform within DBRS Morningstar’s base-case assumptions.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to originating, underwriting, and servicing.
