BBVA Scales U.S. Securitization and ABS Capabilities

BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (BBVA CIB) is expanding its U.S. Securitization and Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) platform to meet surging demand for structured credit across digital infrastructure, sponsor-backed and core commercial and consumer assets.

As part of this growth, BBVA has appointed Thomas Moore as Executive Director in BBVA’s Securitized Products Group, based in New York. Reporting to Sang Han, Sang Han, Managing Director for ABS Syndicate and Structuring at BBVA CIB, Moore will originate, structure and execute securitized products transactions and warehouse financings for corporate, sponsor and institutional clients.

He joins BBVA from SMBC Nikko Securities America  in the Securitized Products Group originating and structuring capital markets ABS issuances and bank-originated warehouse facilities across assets. Previously, he was a Senior Credit Analyst at Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA).

Moore's arrival follows the recent additions of Dan Abraham who was hired to head up Securitized Products Sales and Imran Hasan a Vice President in ABS Origination and Structuring in New York. Together, they build on two years of investment in BBVA's New York Securitization and Warehouse Lending Hub, which launched in 2024 under Richard Burke, Managing Director for Securitization, and expanded in 2025 with the appointment of Sang Han to lead Securitized Products.

"As more corporate and sponsor borrowers use ABS alongside project and corporate debt, they want a bank that can pair balance sheet lending with capital markets execution," said Han. "The talent we have added across origination, structuring and sales gives us the firepower to take clients from an initial warehouse line straight to a bond issue."

BBVA's Securitization and ABS franchise works closely with the bank's Investment Banking & Finance, Project Finance and Financial Sponsors teams to support clients across the full structured finance lifecycle. By pairing bank-originated warehouse lines and project financing with active ABS structuring, syndication and institutional placement, BBVA CIB is positioned to accompany clients across established consumer, commercial, auto and equipment sectors as well as fast-growing digital infrastructure, data center and private credit asset classes.
