Panthera Finance is a mid-sized financial services firm based in Toowong, Queensland. It provides debt collection services to creditors, pursuing overdue and disputed accounts. Recent reporting has described Panthera Finance as Australia’s largest privately owned debt-collection firm. In 2023, Panthera Finance transferred a significant debt portfolio to Pioneer Credit Limited. In July 2024, Victoria regulators confirmed a five-year restriction on Panthera Finance’s operations in the state following alleged breaches of a ban on its transactions tied to a Federal Court ruling that the company pressured consumers to pay disputed debts. Separately, the regulator notes a 2020 Federal Court finding that Panthera Finance harassed three consumers to pay disputed debts in breach of the Australian Consumer Law.
