Annual Report NIBC Holding N.V. 2019 9 KEY FIGURES KEY FIGURES NIBC ADDS VALUE FOR ITS RETAIL CLIENTS AND ITS INVESTORS WITH ORIGINATE- TO-MANAGE MORTGAGES By originating mortgages NIBC is able to serve two types of clients at the same time: retail clients and investors. When a mortgage loan-offer is made to the retail client, it is already determined whether the mortgage loan is on the balance sheet of the investor or NIBC. NIBC Direct is a lender of record and has the relationship with the retail client. For originate-to- manage mortgages and own book mortgages the processes, services and underwriting criteria are uniform, so for a retail client the experience is identical. This results in alignment of interest between Investors and NIBC. At the same time the investor can choose a tailor-made mortgage portfolio that matches their appetite. In addition NIBC offers balance sheet support to optimise our tailor-made offering to investors. With experience in originating mortgages and managing risks of our own mortgage portfolio, NIBC has extensive knowledge which is shared with the investors.
