Selling your portfolio – choosing the right partner

When selling portfolios of uncollected debt, it’s important to choose a partner who will ensure your reputation is protected and work with your customers to resolve their financial issues.

Selling portfolios of uncollected debts is a sensible step to include in your credit management cycle. There may still be value in these accounts but releasing that value requires specialist skills and focus that can be a drain on your core business. Instead, you can realise value by selling these accounts, providing you with certainty and an immediate cash injection to your balance sheet.

Extensive experience in a wide range of portfolios

Intrum is expert in debt purchase transactions of all sizes and holds a place on all major financial services panels across Europe. We purchase sizeable unsecured banking and financial services debts, as well as real estate-backed loans, utility and telecoms debt and mail order accounts, but we can also help small businesses and those with smaller volumes of non-performing loans.

As well as one-off purchases, we engage in forward flow arrangements, buying accounts from our clients at particular stages in the credit cycle. Our team will work with you to set up a transaction that suits your needs.
