All categories showed increases in August, even in-house collections, which had declined in July. Fluctuations are common, but nonetheless, it’s great to see all categories performing again and with a strong upward trend.

Cash recoveries take a slight hit

After June’s and July’s exceptional performances, it would be natural to see cash recoveries fluctuating a bit and that is exactly what happened in August. The month showed a decrease of -5.6%, with a total of €631,935 recovered. Spain, Estonia and Slovakia all saw negative growth numbers, while Finland topped up an 8.2% increase with a total of €244,197 recovered.

The Bailiff phase is the recovery process step with the highest success rate, taking credit for €478,862 recovered in August, a miniscule 0.2% decrease from July. That currently represents 75.8% of the cash flow for the month.

Estonian recoveries still strong

Estonian recoveries in 2020 have been rising on a monthly basis. Starting from 25.2% in May, the surge has hit its peak with 39.9% in August, 2.21% more than in July. It’s important to remember that Estonian originations take the biggest share within the Bondora portfolio, thus this continuous rise is a very welcoming sight.

2020 recoveries going strong

Anywhere you go, it’s not that common to see something increasing its performance for 7 months in a row. Our recovery and collection process is robust and has shown month after month that it works. That should bring some piece of mind for investors considering all the global uncertainties that we currently see. Things are looking good and we have no intention to stop progressing.
