KBC Bank Ireland – which is in the process of exiting the banking market in the Republic – has completed the sale of a roughly €1.1bn portfolio of non-performing mortgage loans to US private equity house CarVal.

The transaction agreement was first agreed at the end of last August. Pepper Finance will manage the mortgage portfolio going forward.
