CBS will sell residential loans to an entity called The Warehouse Trust, using its to sell different classes of debt notes to selected institutions.

Westpac will provide facilities for the securitisation programme to go ahead.

It will be the second launch of mortgage-backed securities in almost three years after NZF Group put out a programme in a May.
