- Oldenburg | 17. Oktober 2025
Summary
- Strong international interest – order book oversubscribed 2.6-times
- Bond secured by private mortgage loans from the Netherlands
- Focus on further expansion of capital market activities
OLB has successfully expanded its securitisation programme on the capital market with the successful placement of its second Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) transaction in the current year. The RMBS bond is secured by private mortgage loans from the Bank's strategic cooperation with Tulp Hypotheken in the Netherlands. Following its benchmark debut in February 2025 with a volume of EUR 500 million (m), the current issue also met with broad interest: with a volume of again EUR 500 m and 2.6-times oversubscription of the order book, the RMBS bond was placed with a diversified institutional investor base across Europe.
“As a regular issuer, we offer the capital market reliability and consistency. We are delighted that investors appreciate this strategy and that our issuance activities continue to attract a high level of interest,” says Dr Rainer Polster, Chief Financial Officer of OLB. In line with its growth strategy, the Bank intends to further strengthen its active position in the securitisation market. Due to OLB's increasing presence in the private Dutch mortgage market through its cooperation with Tulp and its historically strong presence in the German market, RMBS issues are expected to continue to make a regular and significant contribution to refinancing in the future and to appeal to investors in particular with their high-quality asset pools. “The current transaction already demonstrates the investment community's strong confidence in our securitisation strategy, and we are continuing to work intensively on further expanding our capital market presence,” says Daniel Günther, Head of Balance Sheet Management at OLB.
In syndicating this RMBS bond, OLB was supported by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as arranger and co-bookrunner, Unicredit S.p.A. as co-bookrunner, its project partner Tulp Hypotheken and the law firm Clifford Chance as advisor.
