KEY RATING DRIVERS

High Collateral Quality: The underlying collateral characteristics play a vital role in the performance of a credit card ABS transaction. Fitch closely examines such collateral characteristics as credit quality, seasoning, geographic concentration, delinquencies and utilization rates.

Strong Collateral Performance Metric: As of June 2015, Golden Credit Card Trust's (GCCT) collateral performance metrics were in line with the Fitch indices. Chargeoffs and 60+ day delinquencies have remained relatively stable over the past 24 months, and the monthly payment rate has remained consistent since the inception of the trust. Gross yield has been robust over the past two years.

Adequate Credit Enhancement (CE): The class A notes of each existing series from 2015-3 will benefit from 6.50% CE derived through the subordination of both class B and class C notes.

The class B notes will benefit from 2.00% credit enhancement derived through the subordination of class C notes.

The class C notes CE is based solely on the cash reserve account.

Quality Servicing Capabilities: Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is an effective servicer, as evidenced by historical delinquency and loss performance of securitized receivables. Deterioration in the credit quality of RBC may affect the performance of the collateral pool backing the notes.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch models three different scenarios when evaluating the rating sensitivity compared to expected performance for credit card asset-backed securities transactions: 1) increased defaults; 2) a reduction in monthly payment rate (MPR); and 3) a combination stress of higher defaults and lower MPR.

The harshest stress scenario of a combined 75% increase to defaults and a 35% reduction of MPR could lead to a two-notch downgrade for classes A and B. The rest of the stress scenarios are unlikely to impact the ratings.
