Debt Purchasers

Capability overview for Debt Purchasers

introduction

A GROWTH INDUSTRY INVESTING IN THE FUTURE

The Debt Purchase market has been on a significant growth trajectory the last few years. Regulatory pressure on the DCA market, combined with a low interest rate environment, which have left institutional investors looking for higher returns, both contribute to organisations turning to the debt purchase industry for profitable growth.

Debt purchasers have been impacted by this additional regulatory scrutiny, forcing some consolidation in order to create economies of scale.

The nature of debt purchase business means a suitable system of record that includes features such as processing payments, calculating fees, interest, and charges, together with full customer and account management and maintenance.

QUALCO helps Debt Purchasers deliver better services with measurable benefit:

Configurable system supporting agile change
Design and Control Customer Contact Journeys
Allow customers to self-serve digitally
Modular design to minimise bespoke customisation
Timely implementation and confidence regarding limiting cost overrun

Regulatory Compliance

Enhancing strategy with digital

The rise of self-serve

Regulatory oversight has been steadily increasing. Debt Purchasers need to ensure customers can afford repayments, fully understand the implications of not making payments, with a need to identify and appropriately manage vulnerable customers.

Nowadays it is even more considered as a requirement to not just have controls in place but also to demonstrate and evidence the fact. This has increased the level of process monitoring and reporting required. To maintain profitability cost-efficiency remains a focus.

With significant regulatory focus businesses are continually assessing and developing forbearance strategies with continuous innovation in the industry. Flexibility to adapt and adopt new best practices is a competitive advantage.

Help to remain compliant with QUALCO:

Stay in Control - Enable compliance and add control all whilst mitigating risk with robust control reporting and documentation tools

Flexible payment arrangements - Fully configurable rules to ensure everything matches payment policies and hierarchies

The right data, the right time in the right location for agents to optimise call handling times and reduce costs

Debt Purchasers use credit scoring and data modelling to assess portfolios, creating triggers for contact, settlements and driving profitable outcomes. Capturing data, self-serve and integrated contact technology such as Omni-channel is all used to drive efficiencies and reduce the cost to serve.

With greater regulatory scrutiny on customer fair treatment, digital advancements are being leaned on to help, integrating with the money advice sector, government financial portals and credit bureaus to enable to automate workflow and capture compliance data.

A robust integrated collections system with a system of record capability is a key enabler.

Cost efficiency as a key driver of profitability remains a focus in the sector and digital customer engagement is seen as a key enabler. The ability for customers to be directed to self-serve with digital hand-holding, allows data to be captured, at a lower cost, also improving customer satisfaction, and contact centre service levels. (the Income and Expenditure process, to understand affordability, is a high touch process and a key target for digital automation in particular).
