Hoist Finance builds upon its recent landmark acquisition in the Netherlands by
acquiring additional portfolio and entering a forward-flow agreement with Credit

acquired the Special Collection department of Credit Agricole Consumer Finance
in Amsterdam. Transaction details are not disclosed.

"With this transaction we further strengthen our presence in Benelux and build
on our European expansion strategy. This is another proof-point to our ambition
to be a trusted partner to global banks and financial institutions,” says Jörgen
Olsson, CEO of Hoist Finance.

"By closing yet another landmark transaction of unsecured consumer receivables
we have successfully built another core market within our group. This
transaction can be considered a confirmation of trust and a logical continuation
of our strategic partnership with one of the leading banks in consumer finance
in The Netherlands” continues Charles de Munter, Regional Manager of Hoist
