Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd

As the best MFI debt collector, Swipe Recoveries operates within the stringent regulatory framework governing Microfinance Institutions in Kenya. Our processes are fully compliant with the Microfinance Act (No. 19 of 2006) and the prudential guidelines issued by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), which oversees deposit-taking MFIs. We strictly adhere to the Data Protection Act (No. 24 of 2019) to ensure the privacy and security of client information throughout the recovery process.

Our Proven MFI Debt Recovery Strategies and Process

Swipe Recoveries employs a multi-faceted approach to serve as the best MFI debt collector for your institution, focusing on maximizing recovery while fostering client retention. Our process begins with a thorough analysis of your non-performing loan (NPL) portfolio, understanding the unique circumstances of each client. We prioritize early intervention through polite yet firm communication, offering clear repayment options and financial counseling where appropriate, aligning with responsible lending principles. Our trained negotiators excel at engaging MFI clients, explaining the consequences of default, and exploring mutually beneficial solutions. When amicable resolution proves difficult, we can escalate to formal legal steps in adherence to the Civil Procedure Act, including demand letters, statutory notices, and ultimately, court action or enforcement of security where applicable. All steps are meticulously documented, providing your MFI with clear visibility and accountability. Our expertise in navigating the Kenyan legal system, coupled with our strategic location at International Life Hse, Mama Ngina Street, Nairobi, enables swift and effective action.

Transparent Pricing and Value for MFI Debt Recovery Services

Choosing the best MFI debt collector also means finding a partner who offers transparent and competitive pricing. Swipe Recoveries provides flexible fee structures designed to be cost-effective for Microfinance Institutions, ensuring excellent value. Our primary model is a performance-based commission, typically ranging from 18% to 28% of the recovered amount, meaning you only pay upon successful recovery. For larger portfolios or cases requiring intensive investigative work, a small upfront retainer (starting from approximately KES 40,000) may be discussed, which contributes to initial due diligence, skip tracing, and administrative costs. We provide a detailed breakdown of all potential expenses, including court filing fees and legal disbursements, to ensure complete transparency with no hidden charges. Our goal is to convert your portfolio at risk (PAR) into liquid assets efficiently and economically, strengthening your MFI's financial position and enabling you to continue empowering communities through access to finance.
