Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about deploying AI agents in debt recovery operations, from compliance requirements to performance metrics. 

Which debt collection scenarios work best for AI agents?

AI agents excel in payment reminders, account verification, simple payment arrangements, and routine enquiries. They’re particularly effective for high-volume early-stage recovery where consistent messaging and 24/7 availability drive better contact rates. Complex negotiations, vulnerability cases, and dispute resolution require human expertise, with AI providing complete conversation context for seamless handoffs. 

How do AI agents maintain compliance with FCA Consumer Duty?

Our AI agents are built with Consumer Duty principles embedded throughout. They automatically detect vulnerability indicators, apply treating customers fairly protocols, maintain comprehensive audit trails, and escalate appropriately when situations require human intervention. All interactions are recorded and monitored for compliance with clear documentation of decision-making processes. 

What happens when AI agents encounter vulnerable customers?

AI agents are trained to recognise potential vulnerability indicators through conversation patterns, payment history, and explicit customer statements. When vulnerability is detected, calls are immediately escalated to trained human specialists with complete conversation context, ensuring appropriate support whilst maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. 

How quickly can we see ROI from AI agents in debt recovery?

 
Most debt recovery operations see measurable improvements within 4-6 weeks of deployment. The combination of increased contact rates, 24/7 availability, and automated payment processing typically delivers positive ROI within the first quarter, with continued improvements as AI agents learn from successful interactions. 

Can AI agents handle payments securely? 

 
Our AI agents maintain full PCI DSS compliance for payment processing, with enterprise-grade security for all customer data handling. They can securely process card payments, set up direct debits, arrange payment plans, and handle sensitive financial information whilst providing comprehensive audit trails for regulatory compliance.

How do AI agents maintain your brand voice in debt recovery?  

 
AI agents are trained specifically on your brand guidelines, tone of voice, and debt recovery approach. They learn from your existing successful interactions and can be fine-tuned to match your organisation’s communication style, whether that’s formal and professional or more conversational and supportive, ensuring consistency across all customer touchpoints

What performance metrics can we track for AI debt recovery agents?

Real-time dashboards provide visibility into AI performance across different debt types, customer segments, and time periods with detailed reporting for continuous improvement.
