Regional team building of the Creditexpress company took place in Belgrade this Autumn, on 29-30 of September.

Serbian company and its employees were hosts of the colleagues from Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia. Team work, great time and a lot of fun were main goals of this team building and they are completely achieved.

After bus tour through Belgrade and sightseeing of the city which was organized for beloved guests from Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia, all the employees from EX YU region competed in ,,paparazzo treasure hunting“ on Ada Ciganlija.

Fantastic game, with a lot of interesting tasks and great fun, was an excellent overture for the dinner in the restaurant which continued with all-night-long party. As it was expected, Belgrade’s nightlife impressed our neighbors, so the party lasted until the morning hours.

Creditexpress’s main strength are the people inside the company and we are always striving to make all the employees feel as a part of the one big happy family.

U okviru posete misije Svetske banke čiji je cilj podrška finansijskom sektoru Srbije, članovi delegacije održali su 28.06.2017.godine sastanak sa rukovodstvom kompanija Creditexpress i SVEA Finance, kao vodećim kompanijama u oblasti naplate i otkupa potraživanja na tržištu Srbije.

Poseta Srbiji je trajala od 12.06.2017 do 18.06.2017 godine i za to vreme  održani su sastanci sa predstavnicima Narodne banke Srbije, Ministarstva finansija, Ministarstva privrede, banaka i osiguravajućih kuća u državnom vlasništvu kao i ostalim  relevantnim finansijskim institucijama.

Naplata problematičnih kredita (NPL-a) na tržištu Srbije, upravljanje potraživanjima i otkup problematičnih potraživanja, kao i predlozi za rešavanje ovih problema, bile su samo neke od  tema razgovora g-dina Karlisa Bauze (Senior Financial Sector Specialist) i Gordona Johnsona (Bankruptcy and Asset Management Expert)  sa Milošem Simonovićem,  menadžerom prodaje u kompaniji Creditexpress. Pored toga, razgovaralo se i o trenutnim preprekama u prodaji problematičnih kredita (NPL) od strane banaka, problemima u pravosudnom sistemu kada je naplata potraživanja u pitanju, kao i o pravnom okviru za sprovođenje aktivnosti kompanija koje se bave naplatom i otkupom potraživanja.

Kako u kompanijama Creditexpress i SVEA Finance ističu, ovakve incijative su uvek dobrodošle, kako bi se prostor delovanja kompanija koje se bave upravljanjem potraživanja pravno uredio, što posledično vodi efikasnijoj naplati potraživanja svih subjekata na tržištu i sveukupnom unapređenju funkcionisanja privrednog sistema
