These are incredibly challenging times.

Consumer-facing businesses—banks, telecoms, credit unions, retailers and other large credit-granting B2C organizations—must work harder and with thinner margins than ever. We get it.®

To succeed, you must recover large volumes of overdue accounts and set the stage to win back customers, in an era where negative reviews and online complaints can be posted instantly—with long-term damage to your brand reputation. With consumer debt and delinquencies trending up nationally, your future profitability is shaped by the way your business and its partners manage and interact with customers, even when they are slow or non-payers.

In 2019, Canadian outstanding credit card debt balances exceeded $100 billion (Source) and the consumer debt delinquency rate reached 1.2% (Source). Calculated conservatively, about $1.2 billion in consumer credit card debt were potentially overdue, before the financial crisis began. Any way you measure it, unpaid consumer debt is on a steep increase. Your business needs Canada’s top-performing collection agency in its corner.

Unique Technology to Collect Smarter, Faster

MetCredit can achieve results other consumer debt collection agencies cannot—in part because we have innovated the tools we use.

While always compliant with all provincial and federal regulations, we are a technological pioneer in areas such as Advanced Predictive Dialling, Automated Messaging Systems, Call Recording, and the use of SMS Text Communications and proprietary messaging and payment technologies that bring us ever closer to the consumer.
