DLA Piper has advised International Personal Finance plc (IPF) on the successful issuance and settlement of PLN72 million Senior Unsecured Floating Rate Notes under the IPF’s EUR1 billion Medium Term Note Programme, most recently updated on 24 August, 2023.

This transaction represents a diversification of IPF’s funding profile and presents us with an opportunity for IPF and DLA Piper’s UK and Warsaw teams to collaborate further.”
