Obvion is one of the leading mortgage providers in the Netherlands, with some 190,000 customers and a portfolio valued at more than €30bn. Wholly owned by Rabobank since 2002, Obvion sources all of its funding externally and has issued more than €40bn of securitisation deals.
In June of this year, however, Obvion broke new ground, issuing the first ever, green residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transaction, Obvion Green Storm, backed entirely with energy-efficient homes or those that had made significant improvements to their carbon footprint.
