What is an omnichannel collections platform?

An omnichannel collections platform is one that combines multiple communication channels into a unified suite to enable collectors to engage in seamless contact outreach. Instead of relying only on making phone calls or mailing letters, some companies are adopting digitally-based communication services, including: SMS, live chat, email, and self-serve portals:

  • Seamless communication across channels creates smoother relationships with customers, especially when your agents can view everything they need on one screen
  • It’s not just about adding more channels; the more points of contact you have, the more insight you can gain from your interactions with customers
  • Look for a system that allows you to unify all your contact channels in one place and gives you the control you need at the same time
  • Convenience for customers equals more dollars collected; an omnichannel debt collection approach is more likely to reach people in the right channel at the right time
  • Collectors must be focused on bringing in payments, but compliance concerns are also very real and pose risks if you don’t abide by them

Essential features of omnichannel debt collection call/contact center software

Selecting the right call center software for your collections agency or BPO may seem daunting. Before making a decision, conduct deeper research into the functions call center software should have to keep you competitive. Below is a non-exhaustive list of what to look for:

 

  • Third-party system compatibility 
  • Omnichannel capabilities 
  • IVR
  • Versatile dialing options including automation and manual
  • Self-service options
  • Consent management
  • Agent scripts for compliance and risk mitigation
  • Secure payment capture

Omnichannel implications of the CFPB’s Reg F. on collectors

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulation F has made omnichannel debt collections more crucial than ever:

  • Collectors must adhere to these evolving rules and make regulatory compliance a top priority
  • On November 30, 2021, new CFPB rules took effect addressing debt collection communications
  • These rules interpret and clarify the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) under Regulation F (Reg. F)
  • Reg. F is designed to address consumer concerns about debt collection communications
  • The ruling establishes a wide range of requirements and limitations for interacting with consumers

    Collectors must be proactive and ensure they have the right technology and tools in place to: 

    • Control contact attempts
    • Manage consent and revocation
    • Monitor phone calls

    Benefits of implementing an omnichannel collections approach

    When collectors adopt an omnichannel strategy, customers can seamlessly engage on any channel at any time, no matter what their preference is:

    • Improved CX due to availability of self-service options
    • Automation results in a significant reduction in the amount of manual work required to set account processing in motion
    • Compliance and control are improved due to the virtual agent executing channel content and scripting in a consistent yet fixed manner.
    • Vendor management becomes less onerous because the requirement for multiple suppliers is eliminated
    • Scaling an operation to deal with increases in volume or unexpected events is seamless.
    • Adding additional channels is simple, with very little change or integration work required

    Compelling statistics on omnichannel customer engagement
