Collections

In crisis situations, and especially in the current context, recovery areas are particularly relevant, given their highly countercyclical nature. In particular, in a scenario of low margins and higher expected volumes, the role of Collections takes on special relevance in order to manage the balance between:

• Minimizing the level of non-performing assets, acting quickly to differentiate temporary from structural credit difficulties, as well as identifying debtors with a willingness to cooperate and quickly implementing relevant actions.
• Taking care of the relationship with customers, making sure the collections, risk monitoring and business areas work in tandem so that good customers feel supported at times of difficulty.
• Adequately managing reputational and conduct risk, giving consideration to the impact that any action taken would have on the clients.
