Press release

Volume of EUROPACE transactions in the first quarter of 2015 New record for EUROPACE: transaction volume tops the €10 billion mark for the first time Berlin, 09 April 2015: The volume of transactions processed on the EUROPACE marketplace for financial products grew to €11.1 billion in the first quarter of 2015. This represented an increase of more than 31 per cent compared with the corresponding period of last year. EUROPACE therefore beat its previous record - set in the third quarter of 2014 - and topped the €10 billion mark for the first time.

"I am delighted that we have achieved this new quarterly record. The volume of new loans brokered via our platform in March of this year averaged more than €200 million per working day", commented Thilo Wiegand, the Chief Executive Officer of Europace AG. "This success can, above all, be attributed to the performance of our currently more than 300 platform partners; however, it is also driven by the large number of working days in the first quarter of this year and by the early onset of construction activity owing to the mild weather."

The product segments in detail

The mortgage-finance product segment once again contributed the largest share of the total transaction volume, generating €8.9 billion (up 37 per cent). The value of transactions processed in the Bausparen segment grew by almost 15 per cent to €1.9 billion, while the volume of personal-loan transactions advanced by more than 9 per cent to €434 million. Following a weaker fourth-quarter figure as a result of seasonal factors, EUROPACE saw the Company's best ever result. EUROPACE's previous record had been the transaction volume of €9.6 billion achieved in the third quarter of 2014.
