With NowCM’s tools, all primary market participants can collaborate and in real-time on the creation of bonds and commercial papers (CPs). NowCM facilitates access to the primary markets for first-time issuers and infrequent issuers through its Treasury-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering. Our “TaaS financing subsidiary,” licensed by the CSSF in Luxembourg, uses fully automated digital workflows and standardized yet flexible documentation. NowCM’s 360-degree service offering includes the world’s first and only multilateral trading facility (MTF) for the issuance of CPs and bonds (2025) in Paris, supervised by ACPR and AMF.
With NowCM’s digital tools, the asset transfers underlying securitizations can be quickly and securely integrated into the data platform, and the complete documentation for debt securities or asset-backed securities (ABS) can be created. NowCM is particularly suitable for securitization transactions involving many participants or for existing financing or special purpose vehicles (SPVs) looking to implement a comprehensive issuance program. For those interested in securitization who do not yet have an SPV, our TaaS financing subsidiary in Luxembourg offers further flexible and cost-effective options to bring their securitization to market.
