Liberty Financial, part of the ASX-listed Liberty Financial Group, has tapped wholesale debt markets again, pricing a new $300 million medium-term note that extends the non-bank lender’s access to term funding for mortgages and other lending.
The latest deal is Liberty’s sixteenth senior unsecured MTN under its established program, which has now raised about $3 billion since launch. The new five-year floating rate note matures on 19 March 2031 and is priced at a margin of 1.77% over the three-month BBSW, with coupons paid quarterly.
Joint lead managers on the transaction were Barrenjoey, Deutsche Bank, National Australia Bank, and Westpac Institutional Bank. Settlement is scheduled for 14 May 2026, with the issue to be made under Liberty’s information memorandum dated 5 March 2015 and an accompanying pricing supplement.
Liberty said it intends to seek eligibility for Reserve Bank repurchase agreements for the new MTN, in line with previous issues under the program. The notes are issued by Liberty Financial, which holds an investment grade rating of BBB (Stable) from S&P Global Ratings (Australia).
The group said the deal underscores continued investor demand for its credit and supports ongoing funding diversification as competition in mortgage, motor, and business lending remains intense.
“Liberty is proud to offer a wide range of customers more choice, with a variety of products and services to meet a breadth of financial needs,” said Peter Riedel (pictured), chief financial officer at Liberty.
Riedel added that ongoing support from wholesale investors remained central to the MTN platform’s success.
Riedel said Liberty’s ability to consistently issue senior unsecured debt reflected the depth of its investor base and its track record in capital markets.
“The success of our MTN program would not be possible without the support of our investors – we are grateful for their continued partnership,” he said.
Liberty’s capital markets momentum has continued, with a record $2 billion RMBS and half‑year results showing higher profits and strong SME, SMSF, and auto lending, offsetting softer residential loans as banks pull back.
The Liberty Financial Group has raised more than $56 billion in global capital markets since 1997, supporting funding for more than 900,000 customers.
