Insights

The second issuance of asset-backed securities by Hepsiburada is a significant financial move that demonstrates the company's strategic approach to funding its operations. The TRY 350 million raised through this issuance, part of a larger TRY 2 billion limit, provides Hepsiburada with substantial liquidity to fuel its Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) business growth.

The structure of the issuance, consisting of six tranches with an average maturity of 84 days and an annual average interest rate of 51.00%, reflects the current high-interest rate environment in Turkey. This relatively short-term financing allows Hepsiburada to manage its cash flow efficiently while potentially benefiting from any future interest rate reductions.

By using its BNPL receivables as the underlying assets, Hepsiburada is effectively monetizing its consumer credit portfolio. This strategy not only provides immediate capital but also transfers some of the credit risk to investors. The move to grow the BNPL business could lead to increased customer retention and higher average order values, potentially boosting Hepsiburada's market share in the competitive Turkish e-commerce landscape.
