S&P assigns Australian Motor Finance AVERAGE svcr ranking
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today assigned an 'AVERAGE' subprime auto loan servicer ranking and 'Stable' outlook to Australian Motor Finance Ltd. (AMF).
It is eligible for inclusion on Standard & Poor's global select servicer list. AMF (an unlisted company) is a subsidiary of Australian Motor Finance Group Ltd. (AMFG, a holding company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange). AMF commenced operations in the car financing market in 2003.
It originates and services motor vehicle loans for the non-conforming market, targeting first-time and credit-impaired borrowers. AMF services more than 3000 auto loans and its loan book has a value of approximately A$55.0 million.
The assignment of the 'AVERAGE' ranking is based on AMF's clear company strategies and business plans. AMF has a well defined business model, which is supported by an experienced management team; however, additional emphasis is required to further develop its supporting processing and servicing infrastructure, and to define its servicing standards so as to consolidate and enhance its servicing capability.
In Standard & Poor's opinion, AMF's demonstrated ability, efficiency, and competence in servicing is acceptable compared to other servicers ranked by Standard & Poor's. The 'Stable' outlook assigned to AMF reflects the company's well documented lending policies and adequate servicing practices.
AMF continues to grow its business while maintaining good customer service levels. A copy of Standard & Poor's servicer evaluation report for AMF will be available upon its completion on RatingsDirect, Standard & Poor's Web-based credit analysis system.
