DBRS Morningstar Updates Transaction Summary 85 for Merit Trust, Prime Trust, Zeus Receivables Trust, Banner Trust, and Reliant Trust

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) released an updated Transaction Summary report that provides details on Transaction 85 of Merit Trust, Prime Trust, Zeus Receivables Trust, Banner Trust, and Reliant Trust, which is secured by a portfolio of conventional residential mortgages originated by a credit union in Ontario. The update reflects an increase to the required cash collateral amount. Due to higher expected levels of payment deferrals in light of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), an additional Deferral Reserve Amount of 0.40% of the Program Amount (subject to a floor of 40% of the highest historical balance) forms part of the required cash collateral amount to provide additional support to the transaction.
