Transfers and Servicing [Abstract] |
Private Education Loan Term Securitizations | Private Education Loan Term Securitizations We securitize Private Education Loan assets by selling these assets to securitization trusts. If we have a variable interest in a VIE (e.g., a securitization trust) and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary, then we will consolidate the VIE and the transfer is accounted for as a financing. For additional information, see Note 9, “Borrowings.” If a transfer of loans qualifies as a sale, we derecognize the loan and recognize a gain or loss as the difference between compensation received and the carrying basis of the loans sold and liabilities retained. We recognize the results of a transfer of loans based upon the settlement date of the transaction. On October 27, 2015, we executed a $701 million Private Education Loan term ABS transaction that qualified for sale treatment and removed the principal balance of the loans backing the securitization trust from our balance sheet on the settlement date. We continue to service the loans in the trust. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $58 million on the sale, net of closing adjustments and transaction costs, a 7.8 percent premium. On April 23, 2015, we executed a $738 million Private Education Loan term ABS transaction that qualified for sale treatment and removed the principal balance of the loans backing the securitization trust from our balance sheet on the settlement date. We continue to service the loans in the trust. In the second quarter of 2015, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $77 million on the sale, net of closing adjustments and transaction costs, a 10.4 percent premium.
