Statement

In early 2024, the potential sale of SCHUFA Holding AG — involving investor groups such as EQT — returned to public attention. In parallel, Germany’s Federal Cartel Office reviewed competition aspects.

From NLTS Global Analytics’ perspective, the debate underscores how central credit agencies are to society: millions of consumers depend on credit decisions. Regardless of ownership, transparency, data quality and understandable procedures remain the key benchmarks for us.
