We have been continuously implementing changes aimed at improving our business model, strengthening our balance sheet and developing corporate governance. Obviously, investors appreciate it. I am proud of the achievements of our team.”

Didzis Ādmīdiņš, Member of the Board and CEO of DelfinGroup, on bond issue: “The significant demand for our bonds can be related to the evaluation of our work, and we are honored to be trusted. The well-known and difficult conditions of 2020 will, in my view, make us stronger and more prepared for external shocks, and this situation has further motivated us to optimize our processes. The additional funds raised will allow us to continue our course, as a result of which we are able to grow our loan portfolio, thus bringing in additional income and, consequently, developing the company.”

DelfinGroup Member of the Board and CFO Kristaps Bergmanis adds: "The most important result of the bond issue is justification of the potential to reduce financing costs in the future. The raising of the capital allowed us to attract new investors and to ensure the adequate proportion between financing from corporate bonds and the financing originating from P2P lending platform. We highly appreciate the professionalism of the team at Signet Bank in arranging the bond issue and attracting investors.”
