Frankfurt am Main, 8 October 2026– Debtist is strengthening its leadership team and appointing Malte Müller as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In his new role, Müller will be responsible for the company’s finance division. With this appointment, Debtist is purposefully expanding its management team ahead of the next growth step.
Müller is moving from the Berlin fintech bunch to Debtist. There, he was responsible as Head of Finance & Tax for building and further developing the finance function. In addition to accounting, financial planning and budgeting, his area of responsibility also included corporate finance and fundraising. In this role, he gained extensive experience in building international financial structures in a fast-growing technology company.
Experience from an international fintech environment
With Müller, Debtist gains a finance manager who understands both the dynamics of high-growth technology companies and the requirements of international structures.
After the strong growth of recent years, Debtist is increasingly turning its attention to further European expansion. The appointment of a CFO is an important step in broadening the management team for the next stage of development and purposefully supporting the company’s further scaling.
Müller particularly emphasizes the close connection between finance and Debtist’s core business. Payment flows and receivables are not only classic finance topics in receivables management, but are also directly part of the product and value creation.
In collections, finance is very close to the core business – we move money for our customers every day. My goal is a finance function that grows with Debtist: with clean data, automated processes and a level of transparency that customers, the team and shareholders can rely on. – Malte Müller, CFO of Debtist

Malte brings exactly the combination we were looking for for our next phase: experience from a fast-growing fintech, a strong understanding of international structures and a highly entrepreneurial view of finance. We are very pleased that he will help shape Debtist’s future as CFO. – Matteo Benedetti, co-founder of Debtist
