Sucden Financial, which offers multi-asset execution, clearing, and liquidity, has secured a $100 million revolving credit facility to enhance its financial stability and pursue its organic growth strategy.
Announced yesterday (Monday), the revolving credit facility for the company was arranged and coordinated by ING Bank and is equally supported by three other banks: Barclays Bank, China Construction Bank, and DBS Bank.
A Credit Card for Businesses
A revolving credit facility, or RCF, is a type of loan that allows a borrower to draw down, repay, and re-borrow funds up to a specified limit, as often as needed, during a set period. It’s like a credit card for businesses.
The lender sets a maximum borrowing amount, and the borrower can withdraw funds at any time, as long as they stay within the limit. As amounts are repaid, they become available to borrow again. Interest is charged only on the borrowed amount and not on the full credit limit.
“This facility is a strong endorsement of Sucden Financial and reflects the growing scale and diversity of our business,” said Sucden Financial’s CEO, Marc Bailey, adding that it will help the company to support its clients and remain agile in a dynamic market environment.
