For the third year in a row, Alvantia<\/span> has sponsored the Receivables Finance International Convention (RFIx), which took place this year on 14 and 15 March at the Royal Horseguards Hotel in London.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This event has become the main meeting point for the receivables finance industry, as it represents the market’s leaders such as service providers, and banking and non-banking financial entities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most topical issues discussed were very diverse, ranging from the impact of Fintech<\/a><\/span> on the receivables finance market to expansion of the business in emerging economies. Once again, one of the hot topics was the impact of Blockchain on business<\/strong> and several approaches were presented creating genuine interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

As in the 2017 edition, Factors Chain International (FCI<\/a><\/span><\/span>), the largest factoring correspondents network, took the opportunity to present last year’s results among its over 400 members, presented by Chairman \u00c7agatay Baydar<\/strong> and Secretary General Peter Mulroy<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The results presented at the convention remain provisional but suggest a significant 4% growth during 2017, particularly bearing in mind that the market has experienced sustainable growth of 9% every year over the last 20 years<\/strong>. In Europe, where FCI has over 100 members, growth is 7%, led by 12% in Spain and 10% in Germany. Poland\u2019s spectacular growth of more than 24% is also noteworthy, as is the United Kingdom\u2019s drop by 1%. As for the Americas, where FCI has under 40 members, its growth is only 3%, with Brazil leading with 11% and Mexico with 4%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coinciding with the event, the most prominent participants were awarded the 2018 industry awards<\/strong>. Among others, Banco Santander<\/strong>, whose solutions we have supported at Alvantia<\/span> for years, was given recognition as a Confirming finance provider and as a global factoring provider.<\/span><\/p>\n
