FMP Potsdam

What FMP Potsdam does

FMP Forderungsmanagement Potsdam GmbH (FMP Potsdam) is a German debt collection and non-performing loan (NPL) servicer founded in 2004 and headquartered in Potsdam. The company operates as a regulated Inkassounternehmen under §13 RDG with a §10 KrZwMG license (Bak Nr. 163208) and is a member of the Bundesverband Deutscher Inkasso-Unternehmen (BDIU). It is structured as a competency center inside a public-law banking group (öffentlich-rechtlicher Bankensektor), giving it embedded distribution and internal financing capacity, while serving external banks, Sparkassen, insurance companies, housing associations, institutional investors, and FinTech companies across Germany.

Its core product suite spans the full NPL value chain: purchasing secured and unsecured NPL portfolios (Forderungen kaufen), selling tailored portfolios to investors via structured data rooms (Forderungen verkaufen), third-party loan servicing (Servicing), cooperative debtor support, distressed property rescue acquisitions through wholly-owned Objektgesellschaften (Rettungserwerb), and NPL transaction advisory including Credit Due Diligence and Immobilien Due Diligence (Beratung und Betreuung). The underlying technology is a proprietary NPL portfolio analysis toolset, cash flow forecasting databases, and standardized property valuation methods including on-site Drive-By inspections, supported by 16 years of operational history and ~€1B of managed debt volume.

FMP earns revenue through a mix of transaction spreads on NPL portfolio purchases and sales, recurring servicing and collection fees, advisory fees on NPL transactions, and value appreciation plus rental income from properties held in its rescue acquisition vehicles. The go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven B2B sales concentrated in the DACH region, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no standardized fee tiers; engagements are negotiated individually. Reported scale metrics include 60 employees, 22,000 managed cases, approximately 1,000 security properties realized per year at a 94% average recovery rate, and 215 properties managed per operations employee.

2. Servicing / Debt Collection Services: FMP provides third-party servicing for distressed loans on behalf of banks, Sparkassen, housing associations, and FinTech companies. They handle the entire debt collection process including communication with debtors, arrangement of installment plans, and property enforcement. Revenue is earned as a fee for services rendered.

4. Rettungserwerb (Rescue Acquisition): Internal object companies acquire distressed properties at auction, optimize them (including renovations), and resell. FMP profits from the property value appreciation and ongoing rental cash flows.
