Maximizing Recoveries, Minimizing Risk

For banks, debt recovery in Mombasa presents a unique set of challenges, from managing a high volume of non-performing loans (NPLs) to navigating the legal complexities of asset realization. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd is a trusted partner for financial institutions, providing tailored, professional, and compliant debt recovery solutions. We understand the delicate balance between firm collection action and maintaining customer relationships. Our data-driven strategies, from skip tracing elusive debtors to managing the auction process, are designed to maximize your recovery rates on both secured and unsecured loan portfolios, directly improving your bottom line while upholding your bank's reputation in the competitive Mombasa market.

Compliance: The Banking Act & CBK Prudential Guidelines

Effective debt recovery for banks is fundamentally rooted in strict adherence to Kenya's financial regulations. Our entire process is designed around compliance with the Banking Act (Cap 488) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Prudential Guidelines. These regulations govern everything from how banks classify non-performing loans to the ethical standards required during collection. Our team is thoroughly trained on these guidelines, ensuring that every demand letter, communication, and action taken is 100% compliant, thereby protecting your institution from regulatory penalties and reputational damage. We document every step of the process for audit and compliance purposes.

For secured debts, our expertise extends to the legal frameworks governing asset realization, primarily the Land Act and the Auctioneers Act (Cap 526). We manage the entire process, from issuing the correct statutory notices to engaging licensed auctioneers and ensuring the auction is conducted fairly and transparently. This meticulous attention to legal procedure, as stipulated for matters before the High Court Commercial & Tax Division, ensures that the realization process is legally sound and defensible against any challenges from defaulting borrowers.

Our Recovery Process for Banking Institutions

Our recovery procedure for banks in Mombasa is a phased approach designed to optimize results at every stage. We act as a seamless extension of your internal credit control department. Phase 1: Portfolio Handover & Analysis: We receive the portfolio of non-performing loans with all relevant documentation (loan agreements, statements, contact details). Our team analyzes the data to segment accounts and devise the most effective initial strategy. Phase 2: Amicable Collections: This phase focuses on non-litigious methods, including sending official demand letters, making professional phone calls, and sending SMS reminders. We also deploy our expert skip tracing services to locate debtors who have moved from their last known address near landmarks like Nyali Bridge or in the Tudor area. Phase 3: Negotiation & Restructuring: We engage willing debtors to negotiate payment plans or settlement agreements that are viable and approved by the bank. Phase 4: Legal & Asset Realization: For unresponsive debtors, we work with your legal team to initiate litigation or proceed with the lawful realization of collateral (e.g., property, motor vehicles) in strict accordance with the Auctioneers Act.

Fee Structure for Bank Debt Recovery (KES)

Our pricing model for bank debt recovery is performance-based, ensuring our goals are perfectly aligned with yours: maximizing collections. We primarily work on a commission-only basis. This means you pay us a percentage of the funds we successfully recover. There are typically no upfront fees for handing over a portfolio. The commission rates are pre-agreed and vary based on the age and nature of the debt. For example: • Recent Debts (Under 180 days): Commission rates may range from 10% to 15%. • Aged Debts (Over 180 days): Due to increased difficulty, rates may be between 15% and 25%. • Skip Tracing & Field Visits: In some cases, a pre-approved flat fee per case, e.g., KES 5,000 - KES 10,000, may be charged for intensive field visits or locating hard-to-find debtors.

For legal action, costs such as court filing fees and advocate fees are discussed and pre-approved by the bank. These are typically passed on to the debtor upon successful recovery. Our transparent, success-based fee structure makes partnering with Swipe Recoveries a risk-free, high-ROI decision for any bank in Mombasa looking to clean up its loan book.
