About receeve

Our journey so far

Inception and Vision

In 2019, receeve began its journey with a vision to transform the debt collection industry. Founded in Hamburg, Germany, we set out to challenge traditional practices and bring about a paradigm shift in how debts are managed and recovered.

AI-Powered Transformation

From the outset, our mission has been clear – to leverage the power of AI to create more efficient, transparent, and customer-centric debt management processes. Equipped with a commitment to innovation and a deep understanding of the challenges within the industry, we have been transforming recovery and collections ever since.

Digital Leadership and Partnerships:

The years following our inception have seen receeve positioned as a leader in the digital debt management space, enabling us to affect change across a range of industries and demonstrate the universal applicability of our data-driven, AI-powered approach. Partnerships with future-focused businesses across alternative lending, Buy Now Pay Later, and enterprise solutions further fueled our journey, empowering businesses to cultivate improved customer relationships and, crucially, recover more.

Value-Centric Innovation:

Creating value at every step of the debt management lifecycle is at the core of what we do. By capturing transaction data throughout the collections and recovery process, we have refined our approach to help businesses truly understand their customers and transformed collections teams from cost centres to profit drivers. With a foundation built on innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to the customer experience, we continue to drive innovation in the industry and contribute to reimagining the debt journey.
