Allowance for Credit Losses
The loan portfolio is diversified across over a million accounts in the United States without significant individual exposure. As a result, the Company manages credit on an aggregate basis within each portfolio segment with common risk characteristics. The risks in the portfolio segments correlate to broad economic trends, such as unemployment rates and customer liquidity. The primary indicators the Company assesses in monitoring the credit quality and risk of the portfolio segments are FICO scores, historical delinquency and charge-off trends. With this information, the Company has a third-party run the data through a CECL model to estimate the allowance on its credit card loan portfolio with three different scenarios. The Company then incorporates qualitative factors into the calculation to weigh probabilities of each scenario which results in the allowance amount.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The table below summarizes changes in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Loans Modified in TDRs
As part of the Company’s loss mitigation efforts to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, it may provide concessions to minimize its economic loss and improve collectability. Modifications typically involve placing the respective borrower on a fixed payment plan, at a reduced interest rate. The Company offers multiple plans that are considered loans modified:
Plan 1: A 60-month fixed payment plan at an annual interest rate of 0.00%. During the duration of the plan, late and returned payment fees are waived and available credit on the account is revoked.
Plan 2: A 60-month fixed plan at an annual interest rate of 5.90%. During the duration of the plan, late and returned payment fees are waived and available credit on the account is revoked.
Plan 3: A fixed plan with a duration of 6 or 12 months, based on the length of the customers hardship, at an annual interest rate of 8.90%. During the duration of the plan late and returned payment fees are waived and available credit on the account is suspended. Upon successful completion of the plan customers are eligible to have their available credit reinstated.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified subsequent to origination during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024:

On January 31, 2024, the Company entered into a new 2024 term loan series (MFCCMT 2024-1) for $750m and a second 2024 term loan (MFCCMT 2024-2) on June 21, 2024 for $700 million. Subsequently, on October 7, 2024, the Company closed on a Variable Funding Note (VFN) under the 2024 series for $120 million, and on October 31, 2024, added a third 2024 term loan for $250 million. These transactions reflect the Company’s proactive approach to managing its debt obligations by refinancing and reducing outstanding balances under various MFCCMT series. On February 7, 2025, the Company closed its fifth Term Series master trust transaction, issuing $500 million in Class A and Class B notes priced at a monthly floating rate. The new Term Series has a stated maturity date of May 2026. In connection with this transaction, the MFCCMT 2023-1 series was paid down and redeemed in full at $979.2 million, utilizing proceeds from the new Term Series and $448 million of variable funding note (VFN) advances from the 2021, 2022, and 2024 series.
Term notes include the MFCCMT 2024-1 series (January 2024), MFCCMT 2024-2 (June 2024), and MFCCMT 2024-A (October 2024) and MFCCMT 2025-A (February 2025). Variable Funding Notes include the MFCCMT 2021-VFN1 Series (March 2021), MFCCMT 2021-VFN2 Series (September 2021), MFCCMT 2022-VFN1 Series (October 2022), and MFCCMT 2024-1 Series (October 2024). The borrowings are included in the table above. The MFCCMT notes are secured via $3.0 billion of credit card loan collateral as of June 30, 2025 and $3.1 billion of credit card loan collateral as of June 30, 2024.
The Company pays unused commitment fees on its VFNs for each interest period occurring during the revolving period calculated using the average utilization for each interest period. The Company paid commitment fees of $3.24 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $3.16 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which is recorded as an interest expense on the Statements of Operations.

The repayments in the maturity date table above are based on minimum required contractual payments that begin when the controlled amortization period commences for the respective classes of MFCCMT 2024-1, MFCCMT 2024-2, MFCCMT 2024-A, and MFCCMT 2025-A to the extent that such debt is not refinanced. The Company intends to refinance or repay the borrowings prior to fully amortizing. These figures do not include payments on excess collateral collected and assume there is no change to drawn amounts on the 2021 VFN1 and VFN2, 2022 VFN1, and the 2024 VFN1.
Restrictive Covenants
The Company's borrowings contain customary representations and warranties relating to certain of its subsidiaries. The borrowings also contain certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, liens, indebtedness, investments and acquisitions, mergers and fundamental changes, asset sales, restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The borrowing also contains certain financial covenants primarily focused on liquidity and tangible equity. The Company was in compliance with its contractual covenants as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
