Axactor acquires the 2nd unsecured Non Performing Loan (NPL) portfolio in Spain

Axactor has acquired an unsecured NPL portfolio originally generated by a large Spanish consumer finance institution.

"This is our 2nd portfolio acquisition in Spain in less than 30 days, and is an evidence of our competitiveness and active presence in this market. The portfolio will add new volumes to our amicable and legal operations in Spain. We are positioning Axactor to gain more business in Spain and other countries in Europe", says Endre Rangnes, Axactor CEO.

The investments will be financed by Axactor's available cash and our credit facilities with DNB.
