Revenues of the first half of 2019 closes at 11. million euros, registering a growth of over 90% compared to the same period of 2018.

Among the significant events of the period, we note the acquisition of the remaining 10% held by Banca Sistema by Axactor SE, for which Axactor Italy is now 100% owned by the Group.

The first agreement dates back to May with the award of a tender with a well-known national operator in the utility sector, for the management of debt collection on behalf of third parties. The second with a strategic partnership for the creation of a proposal of complete solutions in the management of secured and unsecured loans to the main financial institutions of the Italian market.
