Your Partner in Collections
We have experience and expertise in the late stage recovery of many financial products. Whether they are deposit accounts, credit cards, deficiency balances, or other loan products, MCT Group, Inc. has a solution for intelligent recovery.
MCT Group understands the products and services of its clients as well as the unique situations its members may find themselves in.
Your Partner in Legal Expertise
When necessary, it is necessary and beneficial to utilize the legal system to enforce the terms of financial contracts. MCT Group follows cases that can potentially affect recoveries for the credit union industry to ensure that our clients and their contracts are enforceable. Our legal representation are highly respected experts, which includes past legal representation now serving in a judgeship position.
MCT Group stands behind each case it files and will pay for all up-front costs on behalf of its clients.
Your Partner is an Industry Veteran
While the collections industry has a reputation for alarmingly high turnover, the current average tenure for an MCT Group collector is 13 years. Our employees are treated with respect and fairly compensated for their hard work and diligence, above industry averages for these oftentimes challenging positions.
Your placement will not be outsourced to an overseas call center; we maintain in-house operations.
This translates directly into improved recovery rates for our clients and a reliability in personal service that is unique to MCT Group.
Your Partner in Consumer Relations
Are you a credit union member that has fallen behind on payments and your account was placed for collection with MCT Group?
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you find that your account was placed with us. We can find a solution that works with your current situation to get the credit union paid back and assist in your personal financial recovery and standing.
MCT Group IS NOT a debt buyer; we work on behalf of community banks/credit unions themselves. Our representatives will work with you to get your personal business matter amicably resolved. In some cases, account reinstatement may be possible.
Your Partner in Communications
MCT Group provides multi-channel communication options- with consent- to members. Not everyone prefers to communicate in one way and MCT Group can engage with consumers using a method that works for them, all while abiding by current regulations governing consumer contact, consent, and contact frequency.
MCT will never "spam" nor otherwise harass a member with a debt; this method has never been effective and is a relic of the past, when the asset recovery industry was largely unregulated. MCT employs modern, compliant collection practices that are considerate of your financial institution's long term optics with current and future members; we will do everything to work with your members to resolve their debt, which results in the best outcome for both the credit union and its members.
Your Partner in Compliance
MCT Group takes data security and the handling of your members' personal information seriously. That's why we have regular third party SSAE 16/18 SOC 2 audits conducted to help ensure this and meet and/or exceed PCI/DSS standards when handling consumers' payments.
While MCT leverages current technologies to enhance its collection and day-to-day business processes, MCT will not expose sensitive consumer information to third parties. (ie: MCT does not expose member information to AI productivity tools, such as ChatGPT).
All member data is maintained according to AICPA Trust Services Criteria. MCT Group can integrate with your credit union's own internal systems through a variety of means and we can provide secure data transport to keep you up to date on all of your placements, while enhancing your compliance posture.
How We Collect
Beginning in 2023, a unique financial environment emerged following a long period of unprecedented economic activity and post-pandemic changes. Consumers increasingly relied on credit products to navigate the rapidly changing financial climate. With the steady rise of interest rates, there is an expectation that credit defaults, which had long been on a decline, would rise again. This will create an ever-increasing need for professional late-stage recovery assistance for community banks and credit unions that may have scaled back their internal collection operations. Consumers need empathetic and knowledgable agencies that can understand their situation and help them navigate repayment and find the win-win scenario that benefits all parties.
MCT Group's rates for recovery are higher than industry averages for credit union collections. For placements that have exhausted soft touch voluntary repayment options and litigation becomes necessary, our recovery rates can exceed 25%, while the industry average is 16%.
The training of each MCT employee plays a significant role in delivering excellent recovery rates for our clients. Each collector is trained in active listening, data analysis, and leveraging information from various sources and in-house technology to form a complete picture of an individual's personal and financial situation and their ability to repay an obligation at any given time. This, along with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, informs the frequency of contact, payment sizes, or, in some exceptional cases, the need to litigate, with predictive and fair results on repayment outcomes.
We recognize that each placement and member has a different story; we diligently scrutinize each account to find the best approach to ensure fairness, efficiency, and positive recovery outcomes for our clients, without alienating your membership.
