(BDO), is a non-bank financial institution mainly engaged in servicing the leasing and/or financing requirements of individual consumers and commercial clients.

The assigned issuer rating considers BDOLF’s strong brand recognition due to the company’s close strategic relationship with its Parent Bank; its continued asset expansion supported by increasing leverage; expectations of compressed margins and returns amid sustained revenue growth; and the favorable outlook for the leasing and financing industry due to continued domestic economic growth.
