FinTech troy, a Portfolio-Company of BORN2GROW, has gained with Hannover Digital Investments GmbH, a partner from the insurance sector, which is an important sector for troy.

Philip Rürup, founder and CEO of troy, says: “We are very pleased to welcome our new investor HDI and we are delighted with the continued support of our existing investors. Although, according to the Federal Association of German Debt Collector, debt collection volumes are declining across Germany, we have been growing at an average double-digit percentage rate per month since last year. This is particularly due to the fact that market leaders from the telecommunications, publishing and e-commerce sectors have chosen us as their collection partner. All in all, we are experiencing a strong increase in demand for our customer-preserving debt collection services, which is why we will continue to invest intensely to expand our market position as the friendliest debt collection company in Europe”.
