Outsourced Collections

Collecting on delinquent accounts requires a substantial human capital investment, an investment in technology, and expertise in compliance. Outsourced Collections can help your financial institution more effectively manage delinquency and reduce the cost of your collections efforts. A scalable and customized collections program allows your institution to determine what is best for your overall strategy. Intelligent customer communication services enable efficient, effective communications with borrowers. Our innovative technology can help your institution maximize loan debt recoveries on both individual and commercial accounts. From completely outsourcing the service, partially outsourcing, or anywhere in between, you need a program you can trust to reduce costs while keeping delinquencies to a minimum.

Innovative and IntelligentOmnichannel Communications for Collections

SWBC has partnered with FICO to provide innovative and intelligent communication services to engage borrowers who are past due on their loan payments. SWBC’s omnichannel platform is a unique and proven technology leveraged by credit unions, banks, and other lending institutions.

Our solution enables efficient and effective two-way communication with borrowers using their preferred communication channels, including interactive voice response (IVR), text, and email. Financial institutions can create borrower contact strategies using one, two, or all three channels. Our advanced communication service allows borrowers to resolve payment issues and enter promises to pay—all on their preferred channel, with the option to speak to a live agent—the best of all worlds!

Increased Promises to Pay

Our omnichannel communication solution includes virtual technology that engages the borrower and enables them to auto-resolve payment issues, providing a positive experience that builds confidence, trust, and loyalty—all while increasing real-time payments and promises to pay.

Intelligent Automation

By intelligently automating routine conversations, collections agents can focus their time and effort on higher risk accounts and more complex investigations.

Analytic and Collection Operations Expertise

SWBC’s omnichannel solution comes with pre-configured decision flows, rules, and scripts that leverage FICO’s 60 plus years of analytics expertise and SWBC’s unparalleled experience, knowledge, and success managing outsourced collections operations.

SWBC’s Preferred Collect™ is trusted by financial institutions totaling over $500 billion in assets. A collaboration between SWBC and FICO delivers a modern digital approach to engage borrowers who are past due on their consumer loans, credit cards, and negative checking accounts. Preferred Collect™ also offers traditional collections strategies, which include live agents.

Preferred Collect™ Automation

Includes the orchestration of financial institution-branded text messages and emails, plus an interactive voice response system. Borrowers can conveniently resolve their past-due payments with self-service options that include making a payment, scheduling a promise to pay, or confirming a payment has already been made. All without needing to speak with a representative. 

    Preferred Collect™ Blended

    Client Testimonials

    “There were a few motivators for choosing AutoPilot, including calls are made after-hours and weekends, it uses better technology to streamline the collection process, and we gain access to an experienced dedicated collection staff. In addition, AutoPilot was a lower cost alternative to hiring or replacing internal employees."
    Steve Plotkin
    VP of Collections, FAIRWINDS CU
    “We are able to analyze the trend of delinquencies of each of our products by creating a specific work list, queues, and reports that we can generate from the AutoPilot software. If one product needs more attention, we are able to change the parameters and focus on those specific products within seconds.”
    Marvel Ford
    FVP and Risk Management Officer, California Credit Union

    HFCU has been an SWBC partner for 5 years. We needed collection resources and strategy support. SWBC stepped in to support early stage delinquency performing month over month at a high level. SWBC is truly a variable expense and not fixed! Good fit for HFCU!
