Pagaya Secures Upsized $800 Million Personal Loan ABS Transaction

Despite a notable decrease in billionaire investments, Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (PGY) continues to achieve significant milestones within the capital markets and analyst community. Recent data indicates a substantial reduction in billionaire holdings, plummeting from approximately $177.95 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 to $62.40 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing a decline of about $115.55 million.

A major win for Pagaya occurred on June 15, 2026, with the successful closure of an upsized $800 million AAA-rated personal loan ABS transaction, branded as PAID 2026-4. This deal garnered participation from 39 distinct investors, elevating Pagaya's year-to-date personal loan ABS issuance to nearly $4 billion, and marking its third expanded personal loan ABS transaction within the current year. This latest transaction boosts Pagaya Technologies Ltd.'s cumulative issuance since 2018 to an impressive $40 billion, distributed across 91 ABS deals, and supported by over 165 institutional investors involved in its personal loan, automotive, and point-of-sale programs. The collateral for this recent offering included personal loans from new partners such as Upstart and Achieve.

Sahil Chandiramani, Pagaya Technologies Ltd.'s Head of Capital Markets, highlighted that the increased size of the last two PAID transactions reflects the strength of their funding infrastructure and the sustained trust institutional investors place in their underwriting processes and asset performance. He also noted that this transaction enhances Pagaya's capacity to support the growth of both existing and new lending partners.
