Overcoming Operational Barriers in Digital Lending: How AI-Powered Platforms Streamline Debt Collection
5 mins read 25th April 2025
Banking institutions challenge leveraging AI technology to streamline the collections process; especially when it comes to setting up effective digital lending systems.
Today, customer expectations demand more integrated and sophisticated experiences throughout all aspects of life, including receiving financial services. This places additional pressure on banks & financial institutions to expedite the pace at which they are digitizing lending and collection techniques, but most of the time, AI technology does not solve operational problems related to efficiency or the client's experience. One of these problems is the fragmentation of collection systems as a direct consequence of multiple vendors managing separate portions of the loan lifecycle, also referred to as system decentralization.
Mechanism to Resolve the Problem: Incorporating AI Technology within the Bank’s Collection System
One of India’s largest banks faced significant challenges in integrating AI-powered automation with its Debt Collection systems. The setup relied heavily on multiple subcontractors, each managing different aspects of the collections process, leading to complications in coordination and implementation, resulting in:
- Operational complexity: Managing multiple vendors increased the complexity of workflows and created communication gaps.
- Compliance difficulties: Tracking regulatory adherence across various providers became cumbersome, elevating the risk of non-compliance.
- Limited data insights: The absence of an integrated system restricted the bank’s ability to gain comprehensive borrower insights necessary for informed decision-making.
Recognizing the urgent need to address these issues, the bank sought a transformative, all-encompassing digital solution to unify and streamline its collection operations.
The Solution: Partnering with Mobicule and mCollect
