Your One-Stop Solution for Financial Debt Recovery

In Nairobi's dynamic economic landscape, comprehensive financial services recovery is essential for maintaining the health of any lending or credit-based business. From major banks on Mama Ngina Street to microfinance institutions (MFIs) serving a diverse clientele, managing credit risk and recovering delinquent debt is a universal challenge. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd, located in the heart of Nairobi at International Life House, is a leading debt recovery agency providing specialized solutions across the entire financial services sector. We partner with banks, MFIs, insurance companies, and SACCOs to implement effective, compliant, and technology-driven recovery strategies that improve cash flow and protect your bottom line.

Navigating a Multi-Sector Regulatory Environment

The financial services industry in Kenya is governed by a web of sector-specific regulations, and a successful recovery partner must be fluent in all of them. Our expertise spans this entire spectrum. For our banking clients, we operate in strict alignment with the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Act and its Prudential Guidelines. For SACCOs, our processes are designed to meet the rigorous standards of the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) concerning asset quality.

Our services extend to the insurance sector, where we assist in recovering unpaid premiums or funds from fraudulent claims, all while adhering to the codes of conduct set by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). We also have experience in contexts governed by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), such as recovering debts owed to stockbrokerage firms. This broad regulatory knowledge, combined with an overarching adherence to the Consumer Protection Act and Data Protection Act, ensures that our financial services recovery is not only effective but also impeccably compliant, no matter the client's industry.

Our Versatile, Technology-Driven Recovery Process

We recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach is ineffective in financial services recovery. Our process is adaptable and begins with a deep dive into the client's specific sector and portfolio. During Client Onboarding & Strategy Development, we align our methods with your business model, whether you're a Tier-1 bank or a community-based MFI. We then leverage a Technology-Driven Recovery Engine, utilizing a modern Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform and predictive dialer technology to manage high-volume portfolios with maximum efficiency. Our data analytics capabilities help us prioritize accounts that are most likely to pay, optimizing our efforts and your results.

Our service suite is comprehensive. We offer industry-leading Skip Tracing to locate debtors who have gone off-grid and discreet Asset Searches to identify tangible assets for recovery. For secured debts, we manage the entire repossession process and subsequent disposal through our network of licensed auctioneers, ensuring full compliance with the Auctioneers Act. When litigation is the only remaining option, our Legal Enforcement pathway provides a structured and cost-effective approach to securing court judgments and enforcement orders.

Flexible Fee Structures for the Financial Sector

Our pricing models for financial services recovery are designed to offer flexibility and a clear return on investment for our clients. The most common structure is the Contingency Fee Model, where we charge a pre-agreed commission percentage only on the funds we successfully recover. This percentage typically varies from 5% to 25%, depending on the debt type (e.g., credit card, mortgage arrears, MFI loan) and its age. This model ensures you face no financial risk.

For clients requiring specific, standalone services, we offer a Fixed-Fee Structure. For example, a detailed asset search report may cost between KES 20,000 and KES 50,000, while a comprehensive skip tracing investigation can range from KES 10,000 to KES 30,000 per successful trace. For institutions with large, ongoing recovery needs, we can establish a Monthly Retainer Model. This involves a fixed monthly fee (e.g., starting from KES 100,000) combined with a significantly lower commission rate, providing a dedicated team and predictable costs for large-scale operations.
