Use Case

Improving Debt Repayment Rates

Better assess borrowers’ ability and intent to make timely repayments

Creditors and debt collection agencies work hard to collect debts they are owed. In situations with an undiscovered initial fraudulent application, or even lack of intent to pay, the likelihood of that success is poor - sometimes less than 10%.


For difficult-to-collect debts, all that time spent working to understand a debtor’s situation, negotiate settlements for less than the amount owed, or even extend terms gets wasted. While credit reports, employment stability, and financial reserves provide a good picture of both a borrower’s capacity to repay under re-negotiated terms, what they don’t sufficiently capture is their non-reported loan default history, or even their intent to make timely repayments. To improve your debt repayment rate, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of all the factors at play.

Build confidence across your ecosystem

Clearspeed gives teams a powerful new way to quickly determine who and what to trust. Our individualized and real-time assessments unlock a new way to understand potential debtor repayment risk. An intelligent trust layer, when and where you need it. Clients gain insight that gives you confidence needed to set new payment terms, and reduce the risk of continued non-payment.

Fast, individualized assessments

Clearspeed analyzes the responses to a short set of customized and automated yes-or-no questions for universal vocal characteristics known to be associated with risk. This delivers individualized insights of potential risk on a number of key areas where data is previously hard to verify or validate:

Easy insertion into existing workflows

The Clearspeed voice-based risk assessment process starts with participants being presented with the Clearspeed questionnaire on any voice-enabled device. Clearspeed analyzes the participant’s vocal response to the case-specific question set, quickly identifying and scoring indicators associated with risk. Individualized results are then returned via API or available with the Clearspeed web app to inform next steps in routing.
