NEW
YORK, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- First
Citizens Bank today announced that its Asset-Based
Lending business served as lead arranger in upsizing the
credit facility for SG Credit Partners' asset-based lending
verticals comprised of SG Consumer Products and SG Commercial

expertise and agility in arranging additional financing capacity to
meet our unique requirements."
"SG Credit Partners is continuing its growth trajectory,

portfolio," said Chris Esposito,
managing director and group head for First Citizens Asset-Based
Lending. "We're pleased to continue supporting them as they advance
toward their business objectives."
