The securitisation transaction, which is the sixth in the Atlas programme, was upsized to £360m, with Lendco citing “strong investor demand”.
Lendco noted that it had “attracted the tightest pricing” the programme has seen to date.
The firm said it was building a “reputation as a regular issuer” in the UK securitisation market and is “attracting an ever-growing investor base”.
Lendco was launched in 2018, and since then, it has originated over £2.5bn of BTL and bridging loans.
Simon Knight, Lendco’s CEO, said: “Lendco more than doubled its market share last year and this latest successful issuance marks a milestone for the business in generating sufficient volumes to support a second securitisation within the same year. We believe the strong investor demand is testament to the consistently high credit quality of the loans we originate.”

Adrian Scragg, director of treasury, capital markets, and ESG at Lendco, added: “Atlas 2025-2 is our first-ever STS transaction and we’re pleased to have introduced this as another enhancement to our programme. This is also a landmark issuance for us as we surpass an aggregate of £2bn of securitised assets since we launched the programme in 2021.”
The transaction was arranged by Santander, with Barclays, BNPP, HSBC, Lloyds and Santander as joint lead managers.
