The election was part of FENCA’s World Congress, which took place in Berlin from September 21 to 24. More than 200 experts from the debt collection sector from Europe, North America, Asia, Arabia, Israel, India and North Africa learned about the newest trends in the industry and gave an outlook into the future, where digitalization and globalization will be major influences for the work of debt collection managers.
An important topic on the agenda of the newly elected FENCA board will be a pan-European Code of Conduct for debt collection.
Next year, FENCA will meet in September in Sofia, Bulgaria.
