DBRS Morningstar also discontinued its ratings on the following classes due to repayment:

-- Series 2018-1 Asset Backed Notes, Class A
-- Series 2019-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class A

The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s set of macroeconomic scenarios for select economies related to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), available in its commentary “Global Macroeconomic Scenarios: September Update,” published on September 10, 2020. DBRS Morningstar initially published macroeconomic scenarios on April 16, 2020, which have been regularly updated. The scenarios were last updated on September 10, 2020, and are reflected in DBRS Morningstar’s rating analysis.

-- The assumptions consider the moderate macroeconomic scenario outlined in the commentary, with the moderate scenario serving as the primary anchor for current ratings. The moderate scenario remains predicated on a more rapid return of confidence and a steady recovery heading into 2021.

-- Significant amount of de-leveraging that has been achieved in these transactions between April 2020 and October 2020, as manifested in the higher breakeven cumulative gross default rate relative to the original cumulative gross default hurdle rate for each class of securities, as of the October 2020 payment date.

-- General success of On Deck Capital, Inc. in improving and sustaining collectability rate (vs. scheduled principal and interest payments due on the loans) for its portfolio and increasing its paying customer percentage from the low level in April 2020.

-- While a substantial portion of the collateral pool in these transactions continues to exhibit high missed payment factors, the percentage of current loans has been increasing steadily, and obligors for a material portion of delinquent and defaulted receivables continue to make partial or full payments.

-- Both Series 2018-1 and Series 2019-1 are currently in rapid amortization, thus, using all available funds to repay the noteholders.
