PRA Group

The future of the nonperforming loan industry is shaped through collaboration, expertise and meaningful dialogue.

As a Federation of European National Collections Agencies (FENCA) industry partner, PRA Group was proud to participate in FENCA Congress 2026 in Málaga, Spain, where industry experts gathered to discuss challenges, opportunities and the evolving regulatory landscape across Europe.

PRA Group's Kevin Bowman, Head of U.K. and European Government Relations, and Saara Loiste, Senior Legal Counsel in Finland, shared their insights as conference speakers, contributing to conversations that will help shape the future of our industry.

As StepChange Connected comes to Manchester, England this week, we're looking forward to conversations about the importance of financial resilience and sustainable recovery.

New research by StepChange Debt Charity and supported by PRA Group finds that unexpected costs can quickly derail financial progress for many UK households.

Building financial wellbeing isn't just about resolving debt. It's about helping people develop the confidence and financial skills needed to manage future challenges.

We're proud to support research and partnerships that advance financial wellbeing and long-term consumer success. Learn more here: https://www.pragroup.com/2026/10/new-data-highlights-the-challenge-of-building-financial-resilience/

For 30 years now, our business has been helping people navigate financial difficulty with respect and understanding. During Customer Service Week, we recognize the frontline employees who make our mission possible.

Our frontline team members are often the first voice our customers hear. Every day, they demonstrate compassion, professionalism and a commitment to finding solutions that support our customers on their financial journeys.

Thank you for the care and dedication you bring to every interaction. Your work has been instrumental to our success since 1996, and it continues to make a difference every day.

We were delighted to participate in United Way of South Hampton Roads' Day of Caring this month. PRA Group volunteers rolled up their sleeves at Children's Harbor Chesapeake Preschool and Early Care, helping complete cleaning, organizing and beautification projects so the staff could focus on supporting the children and families in their care.

As a longtime United Way partner, PRA Group proudly participates in Day of Caring each year. Giving back is an important part of our company culture, and employees around the globe are encouraged to make a difference through our Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program, which provides eight hours of paid time annually to support causes and organizations that matter to them.

PRA Group is proud to sponsor the Association of Financial Companies in Poland (ZPF) Receivables Management Congress (KZW), taking place this week.

Our team is also excited to contribute to important industry conversations throughout the conference. Karol Piętka, Central Europe Operations Director; Joanna Roguska-Ciborska, Investment Director, Poland; and Vladimir Varbanov, Global Director of Strategy and Corporate Development, will share their insights and perspectives on the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping the future of the receivables management industry.

We look forward to connecting with industry peers and participating in meaningful discussions over the next two days.

As a national trade association, the UK Credit Services Association (CSA) supports important dialogue about the nonperforming loan industry and the role debt purchasing and debt collection play in the broader financial ecosystem.

We are proud to contribute to that conversation through CSA's new collection of essays, featuring an article from Tim Kirk, PRA Group UK Country Operations Director and CSA Board Director.

Several representatives from PRA Group also attended last week's UK Credit & Collections Conference (UKCCC), where Tim chaired a session focused on raising awareness of and engagement with adult financial literacy.

Together, these initiatives demonstrate our industry’s commitment to supporting consumers, creditors and a sustainable credit market.

At PRA Group, developing our people is an investment in our future. We strive to create meaningful learning opportunities that empower employees to grow professionally and contribute to our continued success.

In August, more than 1,000 colleagues from around the world came together for Global Development Boot Camp, our semiannual, two-week program designed to support learning, development and connection across teams.

With nearly 80 unique learning sessions, employees had opportunities to sharpen their skills, expand their industry knowledge and gain new perspectives from their colleagues.

We’re proud to foster a workplace where continuous learning is encouraged, and career development is a shared priority. Learn more about who we are: https://www.pragroup.com/careers/

From the first pitch to the final inning, PRA Group's annual Family Day was a wonderful celebration of our teammates and their loved ones at Harbor Park in Norfolk, Va.

Employees based in the area surrounding our global headquarters gathered to connect with colleagues, enjoy a picnic dinner and watch a Norfolk Tides baseball game. We were especially excited to see PRA Group representatives take the field to perform the National Anthem and throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year's event a memorable one!
