The business delivered record transaction volume for our BNPL segment in March of $ 100.8m , eclipsing peak seasonal trade , normally reserved for December . The strong growth coincided with an improvement in net transaction margin driven by strong loss performance and low cost of funds . " The Commercial and Leasing segment is growing rapidly , up 61.7 % on pcp , driven by a superior service proposition which has the business gaining market share from the major banks . Credit performance has also improved materially from the previous period . The business is significantly more capital efficient following the successful completion of a $ 450m Australian asset - backed securities transaction . Mezzanine warehouse funding is planned to further improve return on equity , in line with the initial recommendation of the strategic review .
