Pepper Advantage Enhances UK Credit Management Strategy
Matthew Wye is joining the Pepper Advantage leadership team as the business looks to extend its expertise across the full credit lifecycle. “In addition, the company aims to on-board more client portfolios and accelerate the deployment of its proprietary credit management technology platform, PRISM.

So Pepper Advantage is seeking to improve operational efficiency, service quality and overall client experience across its UK operations.

Milburn and Wye will also collaborate to drive new business growth through the company’s wider UK infrastructure and service capabilities.
Fraser Gemmell, Group CEO of Pepper Advantage, said: “We are delighted to welcome Matthew to Pepper Advantage. His appointment reflects our strategy of driving operational efficiencies as we continue to incorporate PRISM, our proprietary credit management platform, across the entire business. The integration of the mortgage servicing business we acquired from Computershare has given us scale and with Matthew onboard, we have the opportunity to transform our combined business in a meaningful way. Additionally, having Aaron as our Managing Director for Credit Access will allow us to leverage our wider capabilities to bring a more diverse offering to new and existing clients. His proven abilities and strong client relationships make Aaron the right person for this important role. Together, he and Matt will lead our team in the UK as we pursue the significant opportunities ahead.”
Matthew Wye added: “I’ve spent my career in credit and have watched Pepper Advantage grow into the impressive business it is today. Pepper Advantage combines exceptional people, a genuine technological edge, and the scale to make a significant impact in this market.
