Maximizing Returns: The Benefits of Consolidating Collections
The Challenge
If your institution is currently partnering with collection agencies, it’s essential to annually review your recovery process. We have found that financial institutions typically engage with around five (5) vendors to manage their collections. Unfortunately, that portfolio approach often leads to a lower return on your investment.
How much more could you collect each month with the right agency? In the case of ABC Company, it was $200,000 a month. Here is their story.
The Situation
The Collection Manager at ABC Company was frustrated. They had assigned four (4) different collection agencies $1M of primary accounts each. The success of each agency varied widely (chart one). Even though a total of $900K was collected, the Manager knew it wasn’t enough. There had to be a more efficient way to improve the collection recovery rate.
The Solution
The Manager decided to reward the best performing agencies based on recovery rate. They placed $2M each to the top two (2) agencies.
The Result
The overall collection success rate increased significantly. In fact, ABC Company recovered a total of $1.1M. That’s a $200,000 difference (chart two)!
