Issues

What difficulties are debt collection professionals facing?

The lack of optimisation of the debtor's payment path complicates the work of debt collection professionals and lengthens payment times:

Unsynchronised channels complicate the debt collection process (reminders by phone, email, SMS, post, etc.) and make it difficult to get a clear picture.

Poorly digitised payment methods (SEPA bank transfers or direct debits), which generate accounting processing on receipt of funds, often managed manually.

Complex credit management involving manual actions to limit the impact on cash flow and the associated costs (chasing up debtors, collecting debts, reconciling payments, etc.).

Solution

Unified and omnichannel debt collection processes

Recover your debts easily, from any channel.

The dispatch system integrates URL or QR Code payment links into the communications, giving customers the choice of payment method.

The debtor accesses the payment link in their protected area and pays their debt online.

During a call, the operator sends the payment link for the debt directly to the debtor by email or text message.

Instant SEPA bank transfers

CentralPay generates and presents a different virtual IBAN to each of your customers. This means that when CentralPay receives a bank transfer, it identifies the sender and automatically reconciles the invoice for you, even if the reference number is incorrect.

Frequently asked questions

All about the CentralPay debt collection solution

The solution is available to companies registered in the European Economic Area wishing to optimise their debt collection procedures out of court.

The solution is designed to automate day-to-day management:

  • In-house debt collectors
  • Debt collection agencies or bailiffs

CentralPay is also used by collection software companies looking to expand their services.

The solution enables the payment of debts owed by debtors located in France and abroad.

It simplifies and automates out-of-court debt collection tasks (payment of unpaid invoices) as far as possible, to limit the need to resort to litigation or the courts.

No, CentralPay does not offer debt financing (nor cash advances, nor factoring...).

The CentralPay solution enables debt collection professionals to reduce the need to buy back debts, thanks to automation and reminder services that cut payment times and therefore reduce non-payment.

If you want to buy back your debts, we recommend that you turn to factors or factoring companies.

CentralPay manages data exchange with your ERP and Information Systems, via API or by recurring delivery of CSV files via an SFTP server.
