BEST invested more than PLN 48 million in new Romanian receivables portfolios in the first half of 2026, giving Krec stock a concrete post-merger operating marker. Bursa reported on September 17, 2026 that BEST Capital Romania had received authorization to manage receivables funds in Romania.

Investment expands after merger

The authorization allows BEST's Polish investment fund and its Romanian administrator to acquire and manage receivables portfolios locally. Bursa said the PLN 48 million investment in the first half of 2026 represented the group's Romanian portfolio expansion during that period.

The corporate structure is no longer the one investors associated with Krec. The company states that Kredyt Inkaso merged into BEST on April 1, 2025, transferring its assets and obligations to the acquiring group, while investor-relations information moved to BEST-related channels through the company investor-relations page.

What does the expansion mean?

The successor group reported PLN 470.8 million of receivables-portfolio revenue in the first half of 2026, up 34.00 percent from the prior-year period, according to Profit.ro. Cash EBITDA rose 51.00 percent to PLN 292.1 million, although the operating margin declined as investment spending accelerated.

The Romanian business formerly associated with Kredyt Inkaso generated PLN 62.9 million in revenue in fiscal year 2025, compared with PLN 44.1 million in fiscal year 2024. Net income reached PLN 3.6 million in fiscal year 2025 after a PLN 12.6 million loss in fiscal year 2024, figures reported by Profit.ro.

Legacy security and new structure

For investors tracking PLKRINK00014, the important distinction is between the legacy Krec identity and the operating group that now reports the business. The merger date, the Romanian authorization and the first-half investment figure place the security in a successor-company context rather than a standalone Kredyt Inkaso reporting cycle.
