Multinational collections – the industry challenges

A major challenge global companies face is in gaining an overview of their business from a credit management perspective. Navigating multiple legal landscapes can be challenging, especially when it comes to the highly-regulated field of debt collection.

Businesses don’t need to juggle multiple contracts and agreements when collecting money on a multinational basis. Intrum’s multinational collections operation based in Dublin (IR), services clients when they operate in multiple locations around Europe. 

Intrum has the experience, local knowledge and size needed to be effective and compliant in all locations.
