The $40 million facility advances the organization\u2019s goal of diversifying its funding sources to support growth of its Canadian portfolio. This private securitization provides term financing for an amortizing pool of small business loans originated by Accord. \u201cAttracting $40 million of funding from a high-quality finance partner in this economic environment is a testament to Accord\u2019s reputation and underwriting standards,\u201d stated Simon Hitzig, Accord\u2019s President &amp; CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, BondIt announced the closing of a new, US$60 million credit facility from Keystone National Group, a private credit fund and investment advisory firm headquartered in Salt Lake City. This facility replaces and upsizes a previous credit facility which had been instrumental in supporting BondIt&#8217;s growth over the past six years. Reflecting on the new funding relationship, BondIt CEO and Co-Founder Matthew Helderman commented, &#8220;This larger, more flexible facility will enable us to unlock growth opportunities in the evolving landscape of film, television, and media in a time of unprecedented change. We\u2019ve respected the Keystone team for many years, and we&#8217;re thrilled to have them on board for the next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Mr. Hitzig added, \u201cWith these important milestones completed, we\u2019re setting our sights on further strategic initiatives aimed at creating shareholder value over the course of 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Accord Financial Corp.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accord Financial is North America\u2019s most dynamic commercial finance company providing fast, versatile financing solutions including asset-based lending, factoring, inventory finance, equipment leasing, trade finance and film\/media finance.
