“With default rates touching 60 percent in India due to COVID-19 pandemic, lenders are looking to contain/manage collections effectively. We are the only ones with a full-stack technology infrastructure to digitise their collection and legal process besides being equipped to handle volume collections while improving overall efficiency,” added Rishabh Goel according to YourStory.
Furthermore, the company mentions that they accelerate the debt recovery process with their new and creative means of tracking and communicating with defaulters. Existing data is used to speed up the process and communication is tracked by different modes and means.
Well, Debt management and recovery have always been a task for companies and financial institutions as the profound traditional means of lending and loaning have remained un-digitized until now. The manual processing and follow-ups are unbothered disruptions in the path of efficiency and Credgenics enters the market with the solution of this problem.
