What Sümer Varlık Yönetimi does

Sümer Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. is a Turkish non-performing loan (NPL) asset management company licensed by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA) and headquartered in Istanbul. The company acquires distressed loan portfolios from banks, participation banks, factoring companies, and leasing companies through competitive tender processes, then collects on those portfolios by offering debtors flexible payment options including cash settlements and credit-card installments. It is a subsidiary of ASV Holding, established by the Altınbaş family, and has been publicly listed on Borsa İstanbul's Main Market under the ticker SMRVA since 18 December 2024.

On the institutional side, the business model is a B2B tender-driven model: Sümer Varlık competes in portfolio auctions, purchases receivables at a discount, and realizes revenue by collecting the full or partial outstanding amounts. Disclosed seller-side partners include Ak Bank, Türk Ekonomi Bankası, Başer Finans Faktoring, Mert Finans Faktoring, and Koç Fiat Kredi Finansman. On the consumer side, it operates an online debt inquiry form, a credit card installment payment portal, and accepts payments through ATMs, bank branches, and mobile banking.

Underlying technology is conventional web and payments infrastructure: a public-facing debt inquiry and payment platform, credit card processing for installments, and an investor relations portal with financial reporting. The company holds ISO 10002 Customer Satisfaction Management System certification and operates under BRSA supervision in line with the Banking Law and the Regulation on the Establishment and Operating Principles of Asset Management Companies.
