The recent success of AMP and Westpac's RMBS transactions has inspired the Bank of Queensland to put forth a $500m RMBS issue.
The issue, called the 2010-1 REDS Trust series consists of three classes. Standard & Poor's gave the $462.5m Class A notes and $30m Class AB notes ratings of AAA, while the $7.5 Class B notes were rated AA-.
The regional bank is expected to price the securities around 10 February at a margin of about 130 bps above the bank bill swap rate – on par with AMP's recent issue.
