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.
