On March 20-21, 2025, Servdebt proudly participated in the 10th annual NPL Europe conference, organized by SmithNovak at the Pullman London St Pancras. This premier event brought together over 400 delegates and 190 companies from the European Non-Performing Loans (NPL) and Distressed Assets market.

As a sponsor, Servdebt reaffirmed its commitment to the evolving NPL sector. Rafael Paim, our Head of Underwriting Iberia, joined the "Servicing Market Consolidation" panel, where he shared his perspective on the challenges and opportunities ahead:
"Servicers will once again adapt to these new challenges, and just as in the past, they will seize new opportunities—demonstrating their ability to reinvent themselves and align with market trends."​

The panel explored a decade of mergers and acquisitions, emphasizing the ongoing trend toward servicing consolidation. Discussions also covered key opportunities for servicers, including expansion into new markets, innovative business models driven by outsourcing and AI, and new revenue streams. Additionally, panelists provided insights into market trends for 2025-26 and examined challenges such as the impact of EU Directive 2021/2167, a decline in new NPL originations, and the expiration of long-term exclusivity agreements.

Servdebt’s active involvement in NPL Europe 2025 highlights our dedication to staying at the forefront of industry developments and engaging in meaningful discussions that shape the future of NPL management.

A special thanks to SmithNovak for hosting yet another outstanding event! Congratulations on 10 remarkable years—we look forward to continuing our collaboration and achieving even greater success in the years to come.
