NZZ: So funktioniert Inkasso mit Herz

English private equity investor Pollen Street Capital acquired a majority stake in Berlin-based debt collection startup Pair Finance in October. "The purchase price is said to be just over €100 million, (...)," FinanceFWD wrote at the time about the takeover.

Sweden is the eighth market for PAIR Finance and the expansion is taking place along with several existing corporate customers. The company is also targeting new customers in sectors such as e-commerce, payments and banking, insurance, mobility, energy, online services and media companies.

Most people have a negative association with debt collection. PAIR Finance is out to change that. The technology company is using artificial intelligence to do so and is already successfully leading the industry in nine European countries, with customers such as online fashion retailer Zalando. Today, PAIR Finance is announcing its market entry in Central and Eastern Europe with the launch in Poland, marking its tenth market.
