Axactor acquires small unsecured portfolio from Caja Rural del Sur in Spain.
Oslo, 23 December 2016 - Axactor has acquired another
unsecured NPL portfolio generated by Caja Rural del Sur. The
portfolio includes unsecured loans with a total Outstanding
Balance (OB) of approximately EUR 55 million, across 2.000
claims.
The portfolio transaction although small provides clear
evidence of Axactor's ability to develop relationships with
clients who have not actively sold in the past.
"The Spanish team are pleased to close another Prime
transaction in 2016 and are looking forward to close more
opportunities in 2017", says Andres Lopez (Head of capital
Spain)
"The local team have demonstrated their strong focus on
developing our product offering in Spain across a wider
audience and we expect this to be one of many transactions
over the next few years", says Robin Knowles, Axactor EVP
Portfolio.
The investment will be financed by Axactor's available cash
and our existing credit facilities.
