Liquidity costs

Insight
For a long time, liquidity costs were not very important. In 2022, they have increased sharply in the market as a whole and are now also fluctuating strongly. There are large differences between the institutions, as the balance sheet and business strategy play a decisive role in the calculation of these costs. In the following, we explain the situation using examples from our practice and give advice on how real estate investors can deal with the increased liquidity costs.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) reports on the cooperation with credX and valantic

Notice

Our customers from the real estate industry entrust us with their financing tenders in order to obtain optimal conditions.

The aspects of transparency and security also play a major role:

  • we work with confidential, sometimes very critical, data of our business partners (e.g. how much the company has bid in an ongoing purchase process or how much margin there is in the calculation; on the lender side, it is crucial that the offers are treated fairly and absolutely confidentially and that information in the credit check is traceably unaltered (audit trail))
  • borrowers want to know at all times exactly where the process stands and what data has been disclosed to whom
  • Lenders are regulated and can only work with IT solutions that demonstrably meet relevant requirements (BaIT, MaRisk…)

We have therefore focused on aligning our IT with financial services standards from the very beginning. In the case study, you will learn how we proceed together with our hosting partner valantic and which systems we use on AWS.

More renowned new clients use the platform

Insight
We are very pleased that we were able to convince three more very renowned real estate investors – Bauwens, E-Gruppe and PANDION AG – of the advantages of tendering via the digital credX platform.

In addition to the successful work with our numerous existing asset managers and project developers, such successes in acquiring new clients impressively underline the attractiveness and novelty of our Financing as a Service offer. Such top tier addresses, with their own network built up over many years and excellent credit standing, as well as their well-organised internal processes, have no difficulty in obtaining financing even under challenging market conditions. Nevertheless, they are happy to take advantage of the support they receive from the credX platform.

The CEO of credX explains the concept of the credX platform, target group and costs in an interview. In a nutshell:

We are a neutral, regulated marketplace for lending debt capital, offering the full spectrum of instruments (loans, promissory notes and bonds) at very low transaction fees. Our target group is issuers/borrowers from the upper mid-market, large corporations, the real estate industry and the public sector on the one hand, professional investors such as insurance companies, pension funds, credit funds and banks on the other hand, as well as corporate finance advisors or investment advisors.

Article in DerTreasurer on the competition of promissory note platforms

Notice

Very exciting development:

LBBW, the No. 1 in the promissory note market, takes the position that banks are not necessary as intermediaries and should concentrate on the advisory role. It is understandable that it nevertheless wants to defend its position by using a proprietary platform. We consider a neutral platform where banks and other deal advisors can offer their services to issuers in a fair and transparent manner to be more efficient.

First promissory note loan concluded between Telekom and AXA

Cologne – The credX platform is now operational. Right at the outset, Deutsche Telekom issued a promissory note loan with a volume of 50 million euros and a 10-year maturity to insurance companies of the AXA Group.
With immediate effect, issuers with good to very good credit ratings on the one hand and professional investors on the other can register. As members they can use the web-based platform to prepare, negotiate, conclude and manage the processing and settlement of debt issues and loans. As a neutral intermediary for private placement of bonds, promissory note loans (Schuldscheine) and credit, credX provides an alternative to the predominant placement and syndication via banks.
