Our uniqueness is your biggest value.
Our biggest value (and point of difference) is how we view credit management. Through evolution and innovation, Access Mercantile provides a broad scope of credit collection services, having a full end to end, integrated credit management ecosystem. It allows us to dynamically leverage various aspects of our collection function simultaneously or independently to achieve the most optimal result. When a particular credit activity fails to yield results, for example a field activity, we use our skilled resources in contingency and skip tracing to progress collections and achieve an outcome. Having a mix of exclusive and skilled field, contact centre and skip and investigation resources on request all working together in a dynamic way makes our collection process extremely unique and powerful. This is kept in-house making it easier to manage (there is no need to transfer the file to other service providers as we do it all under the one roof), less customer confusion (as there is one consistent collection relationship, keeping customers engaged & less chance to “game the system,” one relationship giving you full view of the customer interaction and, importantly, the ability to act with speed.
