Default on loans: how to detect it and reduce it with technology

The default does not warn. It appears little by little: a fee that no one came to collect, a client who moved without warning, a collector who assumed that another had already passed. Before you realize it, you have weeks or months of accumulated overdue loans.

For a lending business, unmanaged defaults are the most serious threat to profitability. And the only way to control it is to have complete visibility in real time.

Why the blackberry grows without you realizing it

In businesses that operate without a centralized system, arrears accumulate for simple operational reasons:

• There is no automatic alert when an installment is due. Someone has to manually review the notebook or Excel.

• Collectors do not have a clear list of which accounts to pursue each day.

• The delinquent portfolio is not visually separated from the current loans, so everything is mixed.

• There are no metrics: you do not know how much the default represents over the total portfolio.

The result is that what you can is charged and the default is forgotten.

How a system changes the dynamics of default

CrediControl detects default automatically. When an installment passes its due date without payment, the system marks it as overdue, calculates the amount in arrears, and updates the loan status to delinquent.

This happens without anyone having to check anything. The system works 24/7 and always has an updated portfolio.

Dedicated blackberry panel

From the dashboard you have a view dedicated to the overdue portfolio: how many loans are in default, the total amount, the days of delay and the clients with the highest debt. You can filter by collector, area or date range.

Arrears assigned by collector

Each loan has an assigned collector. When that loan goes into default, the system reflects it on the collections panel. The collector knows exactly what accounts are outstanding without the need for the administrator to manually give them a list.

History by client

Each client has their complete file: all their loans, payment history, overdue installments and the amount owed. This allows you to identify clients who are repeat defaulters and make decisions about whether to grant them new loans.

Strategy to reduce defaults with technology

Having the system is the first step. The second is to use it strategically:

With this routine and the right tools, default stops being an invisible problem and becomes something manageable.
