How Symend Supports Collections for
Financial Services

USE CASE

Reducing Rising
Delinquencies

Unmanageable rise in delinquency-related call volumes as economic pressures push more customers past due, overwhelming traditional collections processes.

AI-powered early intervention identifies at-risk customers before they miss payments, deploying behavioral science-driven engagement with personalized messaging and flexible payment arrangements.

Up to 10% improvement in recovery rates, faster time-to-cure.

USE CASE

Lowering
OpEx Costs

Legacy collections systems require costly manual follow-ups and high agent volumes, making it unsustainable to manage growing delinquency portfolios profitably.

Automated digital journeys with self-service payment tools empower customers to resolve past-due balances independently, freeing agents to focus on high-priority cases.

85% reduction in agent interactions, 50% reduction in OpEx costs.

USE CASE

Preventing
Customer Churn

Aggressive collections tactics damage customer relationships, driving profitable customers to competitors even after accounts are resolved.

Proactive, empathetic engagement identifies "willing but stretched" customers early, connecting them with supportive solutions rather than punitive demands to preserve long-term relationships.

30% reduction in voluntary churn, increased customer lifetime value, 10x ROI.

With 9+ years treating 250+ million delinquencies and $50B+ in recoveries, Symend transforms collections from reactive pursuit to proactive engagement.

What makes AI-powered debt collection different for financial services compared to other industries?

Financial services collections face unique challenges: diverse product portfolios require different engagement strategies, regulatory scrutiny is intense, and customer relationships directly impact cross-sell opportunities and lifetime value. Symend's AI addresses these dynamics by combining behavioral science with real-time optimization across four levels—scoring, segmentation, messaging, and journey iteration—delivering personalized engagement that balances compliance, retention, and recovery performance.

How does Symend's AI personalize engagement for financial services customers?

Symend's AI determines each customer's journey using Delinquency Archetypes and behavioral insights—decoding whether someone forgot a payment, is experiencing temporary hardship, or feels overwhelmed. The platform generates hyper-personalized engagement with embedded behavioral science tactics proven to work best with each customer's profile—delivering the right message, through the right channel, at the right time, achieving cure rate improvements of 60+ basis points.

Can Symend integrate with existing core banking and loan management systems?

Symend scales from simple flat files to real-time API integrations with common core banking platforms, delivering rapid time-to-value. Clients have deployed Symend across credit cards, personal lines of credit, student loans, and auto loans.

How does Symend help financial services companies navigate regulatory requirements across different markets?

Symend integrates built-in compliance safeguards into all engagement strategies, ensuring communications meet regulatory standards—including CFPB and state requirements in the US, FCA Consumer Duty in the UK, and provincial regulations in Canada. The platform's audit-ready approach includes consent management, contact frequency limits, and documentation of every customer interaction, aligning with regulatory emphasis on fair treatment while improving recovery outcomes.

How does Symend support financial services customers experiencing financial hardship?

Symend's platform connects customers facing financial difficulty with payment arrangements, hardship programs, and flexible options before situations become unmanageable. By treating financial hardship as a shared challenge and using behavioral science to empower rather than pressure, Symend helps financial services companies support "willing but stretched" customers while meeting regulatory expectations—reducing charge-offs and turning difficult moments into opportunities for long-term loyalty.

How does Symend reduce charge-offs and write-offs for financial services companies?

Financial services clients have seen cure rate improvements of 60+ basis points, translating to millions in additional collections and reduced bad debt provisions.
