2026 reality
collect Artificial Intelligence GmbH, described in its site footer as 'an Aareal Bank Group Company', sells a SaaS platform for automated receivables management: multiple payment methods, white-label pages, email/SMS/WhatsApp/letter channels, a workflow builder, AI assistants for intent recognition and payment prediction, and REST/ERP/CRM integrations; it cites 50+ customers and EUR 20bn receivables volume.
Aareal Bank Group acquired all shares from the Otto Group in March 2022. The product scope (AI-driven receivables management SaaS) remains substantially intact.
cross-industry collections software; insurance is one of several verticals, so its insurance-specific relevance is limited.
