Even in the most challenging times companies can make life easier for their customers.
While other financial institutions provided blanket deferment options in response to the coronavirus pandemic, New Credit America decided to come up with a different approach – one that aligned with its mission to assist consumers with the restoration of their financial health. Understanding their consumers might be facing additional hardships because of COVID-19, the company shifted all of its efforts into servicing loans and helping consumers adjust personalized repayment plans. This effort required an aggressive and hyper-targeted operational and communication plan and they turned to LiveVox for assistance. You can read the full success story here, but we’ve excerpted some highlights below.

What Were the Nuts & Bolts of Setup?
Because listening to the customer is such an integral part of their business, New Credit America emphasized the need to maintain the ease of experience throughout this difficult time.
