CEO Jorma Jokela comments the first nine months
"In the first nine months 2016 Ferratum continued to grow dynamically. As we
want to continue to grow significantly and achieve an increased profitability we
have set up a Growth Acceleration Program. The program includes changes in the
organization which is now oriented towards products, instead of regions. In
addition, the number of the directors team members has been reduced. We want to
use the existing capacities more efficiently than before.
Another aspect of the program is to discontinue products which are not
profitable, we have therefore decided to suspend FerBuy. Furthermore, we decided
to repeal the intended takeover of FCB Firmen-Credit Bank GmbH. The IT strategy
has also undergone adjustments in order to achieve a more efficient IT
architecture and systems.
Beside the achievements relating to the Growth Acceleration Program we reached
the important milestone of launching the Mobile Bank to the public in Norway and
Germany. The Mobile Bank will open additional opportunities to attract new
customers and present more products to our existing customers."
