Intrum AB (publ), Europe’s leader in credit management services, has completed its first co-investment transaction in Hungary together with a new co-investor, one Europe’s leading NPL investors, further advancing the company’s capital-light strategy and co-investment model.
The transaction relates to a secondary market portfolio in Hungary comprising approximately HUF 41 billion (approximately SEK 1.25 billion) in total balances across approximately 25,000 accounts, acquired from a diversified group of financial originators.
Under the agreement, Intrum holds a minority share in the investment, in line with Intrum’s capital-light strategy. The structure enables the company to scale portfolio investments while maintaining a disciplined approach to leverage and capital deployment.
Intrum will service the portfolio under a long-term agreement for a minimum of five years, generating additional servicing income. The transaction combines capital-efficient investing with Intrum’s leading servicing capabilities and further strengthens the company’s position in the European credit management market.
The transaction also reflects continued activity in Eastern Europe’s evolving market for non-performing loan transactions.
Johan Åkerblom, President and CEO of Intrum AB said:
“We continue to execute on our investing partner stratgey, building on the strength of our servicing platform and investment expertise. Our first co-investment transaction in Hungary with a leading investor in Europe demonstrates how combining co-investment partnerships with long-term servicing agreements can generate recurring income streams while supporting a more efficient secondary market for non-performing loans.“
