Collections as an industry plays a vital role when it comes to connecting with borrowers to settle debt accounts and enable future financial transactions. A digital world gives collectors the opportunity to connect with borrowers in new ways, like email.
Having accurate emails allow collectors to successfully stand up or expand an email outreach program to connect with distressed borrowers more consistently using an increasingly-preferred channel. By reaching borrowers digitally, collections teams can expand their debt portfolios to drive up collection rates at a fraction of the cost. With updated email addresses from Experian, collections teams can efficiently connect with their non-paying customers.
Email append can help businesses increase the effectiveness of debt recovery programs. Having just the name and address of a borrower will allow you to append an email address to the contact’s record.

Email for digital collections is cost-effective and can be used more frequently than direct mail. When connecting with borrowers digitally, collectors reduce the amount of calls made and increase efficiency of individual collection agents.
While traditional methods of calling and hard mail remain the primary methods of communication in the collections space, growing interest around digital outreach and shifting consumer preferences are opening more opportunities to utilize low-cost email for outreach.
What to know when adding email to collections
Experian and TrueAccord's Guide for Digital-First Collections
“Digital transformation” has become a buzzword in just about every industry, and still, the collections space has been slow to adapt. Inevitably, consumer preferences have changed over time. Digital communications are expected and preferred, as they allow consumers to engage when they want to, on the channel they want, on the device they prefer. Other financial services have already shifted their strategies.
We will take you through the benefits and challenges that collections agencies should consider when adding digital communications to their outreach strategies.

Improve your borrower and collectors experience with data quality
A data-driven culture—an organization that empowers their users to leverage accurate data—leads to a better brand reputation and borrower experience. With accurate contact data, collectors can deliver personalized and private messages to borrowers in a timely fashion either as an introduction or a confirmation after gaining commitment to pay back their debt.
A collections team that practices data quality management and data accessibility could also increase morale and decrease high turnover in an industry that knows rejection from debtors who owe. Equipping collectors with accurate data mitigates frustration because there is less time spending on investigating a debtor’s contact information and connecting with them.
