Nowadays people are ordering products and services online with one-click and without any media discontinuity. But, the debt collection process followed by finance industry is still very traditional, static and old-fashioned branch of the financial sector. It may be based on threats, written letters and manual processes, lawyers and court processes. Some players often act “offline” and sometimes customer disorientated also. With the aim to settle open debts digitally with a more consumer oriented approach Pair Finance came to existence. Pair Finance contacts the digital debtor through channels it uses most: E-Mail, SMS and messenger service, contacting him at the right time, with the right message and offering an individual solution. With an integrated individual payment link, he can choose his preferred payment possibility and settle his debt online within a few seconds.
Digital, Customer-friendly and Goal-oriented Approach
As a Fintech company, Pair Finance develops a revolutionary concept in the debt collection industry. By combining multi-channel communication and proven data-driven behavioral research the debt collection process is much more individualized and accelerated. The whole technology is self-developed and based on Artificial Intelligence. Pair Finance had changed the analog and conservative traditional industry and established a digital, customer-friendly and goal-oriented approach for debt collection.
Effectively Utilizing Advanced Technologies
The Technology of Pair Finance consists of a self-learning algorithm that collects data before and during the debtor interaction continuously and classifies him in regards to his digital behavior to gain a specific idea about the typology of the debtor. Patterns are recognized with the use of AI, the most efficient approach for each debtor is developed. Debtors are addressed individually and different payment possibilities are offered. Psychologists helped to define strategies and understand the debtor mindset. The goal is to provide debtors a quick and easy solution to settle outstanding debts without straining the customer relationship.
