Protobase Laboratories automates Unibank’s overdue debt collection process

YEREVAN, February 24. /ARKA/. Unibank has successfully completed the project on the automation of the legal collection having moved to the next phase of testing. The system is designed to ensure streamlined functioning of the bank’s subdivisions in charge of overdue debt recovery at all the stages – from receipt of loan liabilities prior to prejudicial stage up to applying to court.

This solution significantly speeds up processes, increases the share of overdue debt repayments and at the same time reduces the cost of debt servicing.

Automation allows to process a more voluminous information in a short period of time, and, thus, to optimize the employees’ work, to increase productivity, and to ensure coordinated cooperation between the bank’s subdivisions with concurrent monitoring at each stage.

According to Ovsanna Arakelyan, Unibank’s Vice-Chairman of Executive Board, Director for Legal service and collection of overdue liabilities, one of the most important tasks of the bank is the full control and management of the debt collection process. “By launching the automated system for the debt collection, we significantly promote credit documentation processing and get an opportunity to track the collection process, to plan and monitor the work efficiency of each subdivision and generate reports. This approach increases collection productivity and the efficiency of the entire process”, she said.
