Boyden for Stater

The organisation

Stater provides mortgage services and platforms for external lenders. This makes the company an ideal outsourcing partner, both in the Netherlands as well as internationally. Stater wants consumers in the mortgage market to take out and manage their mortgage safely, quickly and without any problems. The complete process: from orientation on a mortgage up to including its termination and everything that takes place in between. Stater currently does this for more than 40 lenders. The company is growing rapidly.

In the Netherlands, Stater is the market leader in mortgage services. Since 2019, Stater has been part of one of the largest and best IT-BPO companies in the world, www.infosys.com. ABN AMRO is also still a small shareholder. Together with these two shareholders, Stater combines banking knowledge with IT expertise.

Infosys is the largest shareholder (75%) of Stater and an international player in the field of digital services. Their Core Business is Business Process Management (BPM) and Information Technology (IT). Headquartered in India, the company has more than 220,000 employees. Infosys is active in more than 30 countries.

After the lender or the bank has provided the mortgage, Stater takes care of the entire back office. With the use of advanced digital services and streamlined processes, they are the ideal partner in the mortgage market. With the ISO/IEC 27001 certificate in combination with the highest Fitch rating (RPS1-) in Europe, Stater's services and products meet the highest international standards in the field of information safety and security. This is an important fact for both the lender and the consumer.

The Stater Board consists of Erwin Dreuning (CEO), Arnoud Kuiper (CFRO), Mario Menheere (MD Netherlands), Thomas Bardram (MD Belgium), Arjan Hessels (MD New Business & Innovation) and Erik Hamoen (CTO). The management is responsible for all of Stater's activities in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

Stater employs approximately 1000 employees. The culture is open, international, enterprising, flexible and informal.
