We help manage society’s debt problems

Non-performing loans are a burden for the economic society. When debtors fail to meet their loan obligations, it causes a strain on credit supply and banks’ balance sheets. Our industry plays a key role in restoring the credit chain by providing debt solutions and contributing to the reduction of overall NPL volumes across Europe.

Bridging the gap in the financial ecosystem

B2Holding is a vital part of the credit ecosystem, bridging the gap between the lending industry and individuals and company borrowers unable to meet their obligations. This is a challenge for all parties in the ecosystem: for the lending industry which does not get paid; social aspects for individuals in financial difficulties; the survival basis for companies employing individuals, and thus; ripple effects for the society as a whole.
