The Company has access to committed borrowing capacity through private securitizations to support the funding of its credit card loan receivables. As of December 31, 2019, the total commitment of secured credit facilities through private providers was $6.0 billion, $500 million of which was drawn at December 31, 2019. Access to the unused portions of the secured credit facilities is subject to the terms of the agreements with each of the providers, which have various expirations in calendar years 2021 through 2022. Borrowings outstanding under each facility bear interest at a margin above LIBOR or the asset-backed commercial paper costs of each individual conduit provider. The terms of each agreement provide for a commitment fee to be paid on the unused capacity and include various affirmative and negative covenants, including performance metrics and legal requirements similar to those required to issue any term securitization transaction.
