Collectius

Collectius is a debt management company, established in 2014, and is recognized as Asia’s foremost fintech company in debt management services. With a presence in numerous countries including Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and India, the company has a rapidly expanding customer base, currently exceeding six million individuals. Collectius specializes in servicing consumer and SME non-performing loan portfolios, with a total value surpassing US$7 billion, both through acquisition and on behalf of independent parties.

Noteworthy is that in a market encompassing approximately 100 million individuals affected by suboptimal debt management practices, Collectius stands out as the industry leader. Its partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) ensures the establishment of industry best practices. The company's unique 'Collectius way of Collection' employs a customer-centric approach aided by a data-driven collection platform, powered by machine learning and digital-first communication techniques.

Collectius is instrumental in upholding the stability of the Asian financial system by providing banks and financial institutions with the means to divest their non-performing loans, thereby fortifying their balance sheets and enabling them to continue extending credit for the facilitation of economic growth.

It is essential to note that the company is mainly owned by its two founders, Gustav A. Eriksson and Ivar Björklund, with the remaining shares held by the IFC, Stena AB, and Formica Capital. The latest investment, a Private Equity Round, was secured on 16 September 2020, with the IFC being the primary investor.
