CreditWeek 2025: days of networking, discussion and growth

An event to share our vision for the future of the sector and our expertise: debt collection abroad, utilities, and the culture of work in finance.

CreditWeek 2025 was two intense days, full of meetings and inspiration.

The event was an opportunity to talk about ourselves, but in a different way and on different topics than last year. This year, we talked about:

  • debt collection abroad
  • expertise in debt collection in the utilities sector
  • ethical work culture (also) in a sector such as finance

International debt collection is a line of business that EthicalFin NPL began to develop thanks to a partnership—formed over a year and a half ago—of which we are very proud: that with a German multinational company active in cross-border debt collection worldwide. This is a very important partnership, which has allowed us not only to increase our assets under management but, above all, to offer debt collection services abroad, thus expanding our reach in the sector thanks to a network of partners active in over 180 countries. The new service will be presented to the market in the coming weeks, with all the necessary details for its use by small and medium-sized companies operating in foreign markets.

For the Torre EF Law Firm, on the other hand, the key topic was debt collection in the utilities sector: we had the pleasure of sharing the expertise and know-how acquired by the firm in this area through discussions on the most recent case law, sharing strategies, and concrete results.

The speech: valuing human capital in finance

Another very significant moment was the participation of Silvia Russotto, HR & Communication Manager at EthicalFin NPL, in the round table discussion “Welfare, training, and wellbeing: valuing human capital in finance.”

Her speech focused on issues that are close to our hearts:

  • Wellbeing and welfare: the social impact of finance also comes from within organizations. It is not only products or investments that matter, but also the internal climate, genuine listening, and caring for people.
  • Gender equality and inclusion: in our two companies, over 50% of the team is made up of women, many of whom are in positions of responsibility. This challenges the stereotypes of a sector perceived as predominantly male.
  • Attracting talent: young people are not just looking for remuneration, but for environments in which they can grow, make a real contribution, and find consistency between values and daily actions.

Days of meeting & relationships

CreditWeek 2025 was an opportunity to meet partners, customers, and colleagues, discuss common challenges, and imagine new opportunities. We would like to thank those who visited us at the Networking Space, those who participated in the panel, and, of course, the organizers of CreditNews and HRnews.it for the quality and energy of these days.

We are convinced that the future of our sector lies here: skills, openness and an ethical approach to finance and the world of credit management.

CreditWeek 2024 | Directive (EU) 2021/2167 (so-called Secondary Market Directive – SMD): New Market Opportunities for Servicers, Investors, and Originators in Light of the New Regulatory Framework

CreditWeek 2024 | Directive (EU) 2021/2167 (so-called Secondary Market Directive – SMD): New Market Opportunities for Servicers, Investors, and Originators in Light of the New Regulatory Framework

 

On the occasion of CreditWeek 2024, organized by the news outlet Credit News at Palazzo del Ghiaccio in Milan on June 5th, EthicalFin NPL promoted a panel, strongly advocated by the company’s CEO Alfredo Fineschi, on the pressing issue of the new Directive: Directive (EU) 2021/2167: New Market Opportunities for Servicers, Investors, and Originators in Light of the New Regulatory Framework.

Will we be able to continue our current activities under the new regulation as Servicers licensed under Article 115 TULPS?

 

The directive places particular emphasis on consumer protection. Do you think the measures provided are sufficient to safeguard consumer rights?

 

What additional legislative or regulatory measures do you think are necessary to comprehensively address the issue of non-performing loans? What do you hope for beyond the Directive?

 

What are the main challenges banks will face during the transition, in light of the new rules provided by the regulation?

 

According to the draft, what are the prerogatives of the future company in question, and what remains for Servicers licensed under Article 115 TULPS who do not comply with the new regulation?

 

Until now, the out-of-court collection activities carried out by Servicers licensed under Article 115 TULPS were not regulated or associated with oversight by the Bank of Italy, so law firms also operated out-of-court. If tomorrow we impose a constraint on out-of-court activities, will law firms also be precluded from acting out-of-court?

These are some of the issues addressed by the speakers. Among the speakers was our CEO, Alfredo Fineschi, who shared the perspective of Servicers potentially interested in registering for the new register, along with many other guests who also offered their viewpoints. The participants included:

  • Alfredo Fineschi | CEO – EthicalFin NPL
  • Carmelo Raimondo | Partner Head of Banking & Finance – WST Law & Tax
  • Andrea Laurenti | Head of NPL Disposals – doValue SpA
  • Massimo Famularo | Senior Advisor Finance and NPE Department – Luigi Luzzatti SCpA
  • Marco Marino, Senior Analyst – Italian Banking Association (ABI)

The panel was moderated by Alessandro Ruocco, journalist at CreditNews.

CreditWeek is the first exhibition in Italy that brings together the entire credit sector. This year’s theme was people, the true driving force behind every business – a theme that resonates deeply with us. At EthicalFin NPL, we strive to put people at the center, both in our external activities and within the company, where we aim to build and maintain a serene and collaborative work environment where everyone feels valued and heard. We are delighted to have joined CreditWeek again this year, actively participating as exhibitors and panel promoters, and we are grateful for the space and trust given to us: the panel registered over 100 attendees and generated a lot of interest.
