Octane Secures $1.4 Billion Forward-Flow Deal with Major Institutional Investors
Octane, a fintech company specializing in financial products for retailers and consumers, has secured its largest forward-flow transaction to date—a $1.4 billion deal backed by fixed-rate installment loans on powersports and outdoor power equipment. The agreement involves leading institutional investors including New York Life Investment Management (the lead investor), MetLife Investment Management, Equitable, Pacific Life, and Victory Park Capital. This marks Octane's third forward-flow partnership in 2026 with life insurance-backed funds. The transaction builds on existing relationships with New York Life, MetLife, and Equitable while adding new partners like Pacific Life and Victory Park Capital. The loans are originated by Roadrunner Financial, LLC, an in-house lender of Octane, and serviced through its loan servicing arm, Roadrunner Account Services, LLC. AB CarVal served as the Investment Advisor to Equitable for this deal. This milestone reflects strong institutional confidence in Octane's credit performance and asset quality. To date, Octane has secured over $6.3 billion of consumer loans via forward-flow and whole-loan programs.
