The Role of Auctioneers in MFI Loan Recovery in Kenya

When clients of Microfinance Institutions default on loans, the collateral often needs to be auctioned to recover the outstanding debt. As professional auctioneers for MFIs, Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd understands the unique challenges these institutions face, including the recovery of diverse assets such as vehicles, household goods, and small business equipment. Our services are guided by the Auctioneers Act (Cap 56) and relevant regulations, ensuring that every auction is conducted with transparency, fairness, and adherence to legal requirements. We work closely with MFIs to identify, secure, and properly value the collateral, preparing it for a successful sale that maximizes returns and minimizes risk, thereby strengthening the MFI's portfolio.
