'Seamless Collections: The Power of Data and AI for Higher Recovery Rates' webinar recap

In "Seamless Collections: The Power of Data and AI for Higher Recovery Rates," Michael Atme, Chief Revenue Officer at Paydoff, and Colin Terry, Chief Operating Officer & EVP of Product at LoanPro, explored how data and artificial intelligence are transforming debt recovery. They discussed practical strategies to overcome traditional limitations, boost engagement with past-due consumers, and improve recovery rates through real-time data, automated communication, and convenient self-service tools.

Here are some of the key learnings from the webinar:

  • Traditional debt collection is outdated and ineffective, relying on generic call strategies that no longer work. AI and data enable a smarter, more personalized approach—helping lenders boost recovery rates through targeted, proactive engagement while cutting costs and reducing compliance risks.
  • Manual collections are becoming unsustainable—actionable data and automation offer a smarter solution. Rising costs, limited agent hours, and compliance risks are straining traditional call center models. With most consumers preferring self-service, modern strategies use real-time data and automation to personalize outreach, segment delinquencies, and trigger timely actions—boosting efficiency and recovery rates.
  • Data is the key to proactive, personalized collections. Lenders who harness consumer insights—from the first interaction through repayment—can tailor strategies, predict risk early, and build trust. Tools like open banking, behavioral segmentation, and omnichannel messaging help lenders connect with borrowers on their terms—via text, chat, or self-serve portals—leading to 2–3x higher engagement. It’s about offering help before hardship, not just reacting after the fact.
