Debitos and OneOSix: A Strategic Partnership in the Italian NPL Market, in Line with the New Servicing Directive
Thanks to this collaboration, banks, servicers, and institutional funds will benefit from a standardized and transparent process for the sale and purchase of NPLs, optimizing the disposal of individual positions and portfolios. This accelerates the development of a truly liquid secondary market.
Milan/Verona, April 4, 2025 – Debitos, Europe’s leading marketplace for the trading of distressed debt (NPL/UTP), and OneOSix, a financial intermediary registered under Article 106 of the TUB and specialized in acquiring and managing distressed loans, announce a unique strategic partnership in the Italian market. This collaboration will enable investors to purchase Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in full compliance with the new Servicing Market Directive (“SMD”), approved last year in Italy. The directive introduces the liberalization of NPL purchases and the obligation to appoint an NPL servicer for loans acquired from March 2025 onward.
According to recent estimates, €19 billion worth of NPLs [1] were transacted in Italy in 2024. The solution developed by Debitos and OneOSix offers a standardized and transparent process for the sale and purchase of NPLs, allowing sellers—banks, servicers, and institutional funds—to optimize the disposal of individual positions and portfolios through the Debitos marketplace. By adopting the European protocol for distressed debt transactions, the system ensures efficiency, cost reduction, and simplification of bureaucratic requirements.
The joint offering by Debitos and OneOSix positions itself as a benchmark for the Italian servicing market, enabling a professional and regulated ecosystem. Debitos will integrate this new opportunity into its premium service offerings. The partnership between the two companies serves as a crucial accelerator in developing a truly liquid secondary market, making the service available even for purchases outside the platform, in line with leading European best practices.
The solution targets all current and potential operators in the NPL market—including entities under Article 115, limited liability companies, law firms, and accountants—who do not intend to apply for the new NPL manager license but are active in sourcing and acquiring distressed loans, whether secured or unsecured, via the Debitos marketplace or other sales channels. The offered solutions will allow the immediate and efficient management of NPLs acquired after the SMD comes into effect, without the need to obtain a new NPL manager license.
The partnership will also provide significant visibility to OneOSix, which will join the Borgosesia group later this year. Borgosesia is a company listed on Euronext Milan, operating in the field of alternative asset investments, further strengthening the offering of innovative solutions for the Italian NPL market.
Francesco Paolo Bellopede, Country Director Italy at Debitos, stated: “This partnership marks a fundamental step in the evolution of the Italian NPL market, ensuring that investors and sellers have professional and regulatory-compliant access to NPL investment opportunities on the Debitos platform. We believe this solution will become the preferred channel for many of our existing and potential clients who have demonstrated strong capabilities in credit analysis and recovery in the Italian market over the years. We are confident that the partnership with OneOSix will help develop a true ecosystem in the distressed debt sector, offering extremely competitive costs and indispensable support in Italy following the implementation of the new European directive.”
Davide Ferrari, CEO of OneOSix, commented: “Thanks to this collaboration, we are taking another step forward in providing high-level servicing solutions, in line with the new regulations and the increasingly complex needs of market operators. Investors, from institutional entities to credit professionals, will have access to qualified support that facilitates entry into a more structured, liquid, and transparent market. Additionally, integrating with the Debitos marketplace allows us to expand our service offerings, ensuring more efficient processes and optimized NPL management in an ever-evolving regulatory environment.”
