Scalability: A rapid increase in receivables due to sporting success and international matches; the previous solution was not scalable and lacked customer focus.
Different target groups: B2C (fans, members, ticket buyers) and B2B (companies, hospitality) each with their own requirements.
Emotional topic: Sensitive handling of outstanding payments from fans, as well as the club’s image is essential.
International orientation: Flexible, international solutions required for foreign fans and business partners.
Partnership approach: The club was looking for a holistic, customer-oriented debt collection partner who shares its values and offers tailored solutions.
With PAIR Finance, Bayer 04 Leverkusen relies on digital, AI-based debt collection that flexibly meets the requirements of a modern football club. Communication is tailored to fans and business customers – across various channels and in multiple languages. The processes are scalable and adapt to the club’s dynamics, even in the event of a sudden increase in cases, for example after sporting successes or international matches.
As part of the PAIR Finance ONE-Approach, Bayer 04 Leverkusen benefits from a dedicated Partnership Manager. This expert brings local knowledge for different markets and supports country-specific queries, the expansion of activities, or planned case transfers. This ensures that the club receives optimal support, including for receivables from abroad.
The partnership between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and PAIR Finance demonstrates how a sensitive and customer-focused debt collection process can succeed in the emotional environment of professional football.
