What does the transfer of loans from the bank to a servicing company mean for the borrowers?
Law 4354/2015 introduced a new special-purpose vehicle to the Greek market to service claims from loans and credits (servicing companies). The companies specialise in servicing claims and operate within the institutional and supervisory framework applicable to credit and financial institutions.
Servicing Companies aim to find viable solutions to problems faced by the borrower. Solutions such as amicable settlements (with or without debt release), personalised arrangements on income-based criteria, the procedure of voluntary sale of the property, sale & lease back etc., are widely used in practice by servicing companies.

What is a Special Purpose Vehicle?
In the context of transfer and/or securitisation, according to the provisions of Laws 4354/2015 and 3156/2003, as in force, the claims deriving from your loans are transferred to a special purpose vehicle (SPV). The scope of the special purpose vehicle is to service claims within the relevant institutional, legal and regulatory framework. The servicing is commissioned to a company servicing claims of loans and credits. SVPs are financed either with direct capital from investors (Private Investments) or by the issuance of rated titles (bonds), which are acquired by institutions (banks, insurance companies) and other investors.
-
What is the relation between special purpose vehicles and Quant as a Claims Servicing Company?
The cooperation between a special purpose vehicle and a claims servicing company is necessary as, according to Law 4354/2015, the SPV must commission a claims servicing company for servicing its deriving from loans and credits it has acquired. As a specialised company servicing claims from loans and credits, Quant aims to provide innovative and efficient solutions for its clients and borrowers.
-
Does this bring changes to my rights and obligations?
The transfer of claims and/or the securitisation of claims, according to the legal-regulatory framework in force, does not affect your rights and obligations. In any case, the substantial situation of debtors and guarantors cannot worsen due to the transfer of claims. The contract terms remain valid by the legislative framework, which also applies to the servicing company.
Similarly, commissioning the servicing of claims by the partner banks to our Company does not affect your rights and obligations.
-
Why should I pay since I have not entered into a contract with the new beneficiary of the claim?
Your obligations deriving from the loan contract you have signed remain unchanged. What changes with the transfer of claims either through securitisation or through the provisions of Law 4354 as modified and in force is the beneficiary of the claim.
