Reza is widely respected in the Dutch financial services industry and will bring valuable expertise and leadership to our team. We look forward to working with Reza to grow the Dutch business over the coming years.”
Reza Atighi said: “Vesting Finance is uniquely positioned as the leading third-party servicer in the Dutch servicing and credit management sector, based on its differentiated capabilities in end-to-end servicing of consumer finance, buy-to-let and a broad range of non-performing assets. Its positioning is aligned with the broader Arrow strategy, with its focus on further expansion in value-add servicing, direct lending and the real estate segment.
“Given the dynamics in the growing Dutch economy, there is a clear opportunity for Vesting Finance to expand its footprint, both as a servicing, data and analytics specialist, and as an origination platform for Arrow’s credit Fund. This makes it an especially attractive time to join Vesting Finance and I’m looking forward to working with my new colleagues.”
