Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd offers specialized, high-volume debt recovery services tailored to the unique needs and regulatory environment of lenders.

We are committed to delivering exceptional Results That Matter, safeguarding your assets and reputation.

Regulatory Compliance & Legal Frameworks for Lenders

Effective debt collection for lenders demands rigorous adherence to Kenya's complex financial and legal regulatory frameworks. Key statutes include the Banking Act Cap 488, which governs banking institutions and outlines regulations for lending and debt recovery practices. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Prudential Guidelines provide specific directives on asset classification, provisioning for non-performing loans, and ethical collection practices. Furthermore, the Data Protection Act 2019 is critical, dictating how lenders and their recovery agents must handle sensitive customer data during collection activities. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures full compliance with these, alongside the Consumer Protection Act No. 46 of 2012, when dealing with individual borrowers. We also operate within the ambit of the Insolvency Act 2015 for corporate and individual bankruptcies. Our expertise extends to effectively utilizing the legal system, including filing suits in the High Court's Commercial & Admiralty Division and engaging with Credit Reference Bureaus (CRBs) such as Metropol, TransUnion, and Creditinfo to report defaults, in strict compliance with the Credit Reference Bureau Regulations, 2013. This comprehensive understanding allows us to implement recovery strategies that are both effective and legally watertight, protecting the lender's interests from our base in International Life House, Nairobi.
