How SCORE’s data-driven insights helps lenders proactively manage customer hardships, pre-delinquency
It’s no secret that many Canadians are facing unprecedented financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including their ability to repay debt obligations. Yet with more uncertainty ahead, lenders are forecasting economic headwinds that could result in emerging risks across mortgage, credit cards, and other personal lending segments.
To-date, many lenders have worked with customers to offer deferment and accommodation options, to temporarily provide financial relief.
But as businesses’ continue to operate under "a new normal,” how can lenders better refine their processes to work with customers? How can they become more efficient in debt collection, managing aspects of financial hardship and attrition where volumes are predicted to swell?

"SCORE has helped us review our agency outsourcing. The SCORE team developed a strategy on how to maximize returns, and introduced us to top-performing partners in the market. Through the modeling process, we were able to get a lot clearer on what we needed to do, and we were certainly pleased with the 20 percent lift in returns.
I can't say enough about the SCORE team and their approach. They are a great group of people who provide clarity and are able to simplify the process for their clients. SCORE always has great ideas, and they are particularly good at getting down to the bottom line benefit. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the accounts receivable management space”.
