DIRECT FINANCING LEASE Definition. DIRECT FINANCING LEASE is one in which the lessor's only source of revenue is interest. The lessor (generally a bank or other financial institution) buys an asset and leases it to the lessee. This transaction is an alternative to the more customary lending arrangement in which a borrower uses the loan proceeds to purchase an asset. A direct financing lease is the functional equivalent of a loan. PASS-THROUGH is a mortgage or asset-backed security for which the payments on the underlying debt are passed from the debtor through the servicing agent (who receives a fee) to the security holder.
