The senior tranche of Bling’s bonds, which are backed by its thousands of professionally rated retail cash advances, offers Tinlake users direct access to a type of asset which has been long reserved to large institutional investors. This Series 1 offers Tinlake users an extra layer of security provided by an over- collaterized bond and the seniority offered by its senior tranche.
