ProntoPegno: more than 1.000 pledges from the launch of the business

ProntoPegno ΕΝΕΧΥΡΟ ΑΓΟΡΑ ΧΡΥΣΟΥ, a company of the Italian Banca Sistema Group operating in Greece since 2022 in the pawnbroking industry, is celebrating two years of activity in Athens.

October 18, 2024

The company, which is based at 75 Solonos Street, has achieved significant milestones during this period. ProntoPegno ΕΝΕΧΥΡΟ ΑΓΟΡΑ ΧΡΥΣΟΥ has firmly positioned itself on the Greek market as a credible and reliable operator, capable of meeting temporary liquidity needs in a fast, transparent and secure manner.

With more than 220 clients since opening, and numerous phone calls of interest, the shop welcomes more and more new people every day. Through proactive communication efforts and positive word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers, the company has demonstrated its commitment to providing quality service and maintaining high standards of professionalism.

In this two-year period, ProntoPegno ΕΝΕΧΥΡΟ ΑΓΟΡΑ ΧΡΥΣΟΥ has facilitated more than 1.000 pledges, resulting in disbursed loans totalling almost € 700.000. These figures underline the positive development of the company and the growing recognition it has achieved, revitalising a market segment that has been empty since the historical operators stopped offering pawnbroking services. Among the goods pledged for immediate loans, it is worth noting that gold and jewellery represent 75% of the total pledged goods, followed by branded watches with 15% and golden pounds with 10%.

The company's commitment to reliability and transparency has been recognised by PIGNUS, the International Association of Pawnbrokers and Social Credit Institutions, which admitted ProntoPegno Greece as a member representing the Hellenic country for pawnbroking in March 2023. Building on its initial success, ProntoPegno ΕΝΕΧΥΡΟ ΑΓΟΡΑ ΧΡΥΣΟΥ aims to expand its presence in Greece by opening new branches in key cities.

Since our launch in 2022, ProntoPegno has grown significantly with the excellent results we achieved in 2024. It has taken time to build our reputation and prove our seriousness in the face of unscrupulous and unrecognized competitors, but we are now proud of these results, which have exceeded our initial expectations and firmly established us as the leader in the Greek pawnbroking market. Our ability to consistently provide reliable and secure financial solutions has fostered a loyal and growing customer base. We are deeply grateful for the trust our customers have placed in us and remain committed to enhancing their experience as we continue to develop and innovate.
