It had previously announced the renewal of a $2 billion conduit facility to finance equipment loans and leases. In addition, it renewed $4 billion of facilities used to finance students loans, a portfolio it is liquidating.

"The renewal of these conduit facilities is further evidence of CIT's success in strengthening liquidity to support its businesses," the company said in a statement.

Like many U.S. financial companies, CIT saw its stock hammered Monday as the drama of the credit crunch continued. The shares fell $1.79, or 22 percent, to $6.45 in afternoon trading.
