Klaus-Anders Nysteen, CEO
Hoist Finance came out of 2019 as a stronger company. We adapted to regulatory changes, improved operational efficiency while keeping our business focus to complete several significant acquisitions. We move forward as One Hoist Finance in all our markets with both confidence and optimism, always keeping our customers at the core of our business.
I'm now very close to the final resolution of my debt and to the end of a troubled period of my life. After many difficulties I was finally able to send the request of the credit waiver letter. Now, I'm feeling more peaceful and calm and I owe this to Hoist Finance! Thank you for patiently suggesting, helping and guiding me to my goal, which is a positive closing of my debt. I could have never solved this alone.
