About us - Hoist Finance

Hoist Finance was founded in 1994 and with over 25 years of experience, we have become one of the leading debt management companies in Europe. We purchase non-performing loans (NPL) from our partners, international banks and financial institutions. After purchasing a portfolio, we do the utmost to come to amicable arrangements with our customers, setting up sustainable repayment plans. Apart from helping people getting back on track financially, this also contributes to upholding a sustainable, fair and stable credit market since we help banks to offload their balance sheet so that they can free up resources for their respective core business and meet their regulatory requirements.

Our offering

With Hoist Finance’s more than 25 years of experience in acquisition and management of loan portfolios, and with our regulated credit market company status, selling banks can be sure that we can meet stringent quality requirements. Hoist Finance’s partners are Europe’s major banks and financial institutions. Over the years we have done business with many of Europe’s largest banks. Several of these are among Hoist Finance’s most important partners. One of our success factors has been offering flexible solutions and the capacity to manage complex acquisitions.

“We are a partner to the European credit institutions, supporting them in optimising their balance sheets. We acquire performing and non-performing credit portfolios which increases their assets and equity. In other words, we contribute to a well-functioning financial system.”

Harry Vranjes, CEO

Our Strategy

The credit management sector is an important part in the financial system. Solid experience, knowledge of the regulatory environment and presence in thirteen European markets enable us to offer banks and financial institutions extensive support with debt restructuring solutions.

Our role in society

Financial inclusion is a growing pan-European challenge. Already before the pandemic, one third of European households were considered financially fragile and unable to meet unexpected expenses. When you are financially excluded, you often have no access to affordable financial services and it can therefore be challenging to build a credit record, open a savings account, meet unexpected changes, and even gaining an employment or a rental lease. Hoist Finance contributes to a healthy financial ecosystem by helping customers to get out of bad debt through customised support.

Our management

Our leaders collaborate and treat each other with kindness. We exchange experiences and continuously learn from each other and combine agile and effective local leadership with the group wide development of long term sustainable competitive advantages. To reach our targets, we embrace change and collaboration.
