Fintech Start-Up that gets you paid faster

Posted By sme-admin on September 3, 2021 Finance, News

Over 80% of debtors engaged pay clients directly in seven days.

A new start-up fintech launched by a former credit industry professional aims to get businesses paid within seven days, resolving the long-standing issue of late payments.

Debt Register has developed a purpose-built digital platform to resolve debts anything up to 10 times faster than traditional legal action, and for a fraction of the cost.

Two years in the making, the new business sought a digitised solution to the growing problem of late payment which often leads to unnecessary write-offs or costly legal action (but only when the debt is of sufficient value) with little likelihood of success.

Launched with little initial fanfare, Debt Register is already filling a gap in the market, as evidenced by the client base already using the tool including software giant Zendesk, US healthcare distributor Henry Schein and global network infrastructure provider CommScope.

Debt Register is, first and foremost, a global payment accelerator that enables a credit manager to identify late invoices on their ledger and the platform does the rest. Debt Register contacts the debtor automatically and in the appropriate language, requesting that the payment is settled, and ensuring the invoice is correct and not in dispute.

By leveraging its relationships with leading credit reference agencies (CRAs) to report unpaid and overdue debts, debtors are encouraged to settle any overdues promptly to avoid their credit scores being negatively impacted.

The age of the debt appears not to be a barrier to its collectability: in one trial with an international client, payment was received for a 890-day old debt within just 27 hours; in another trial with a different client, 99% of all debts were settled within the trial period.

Gary Brown, Founder of Debt Register, said the product and platform were created out of necessity within the industry: “Credit managers are cashflow management experts, but overdues continue to be an issue regardless of skill and experience. Whereas some resort to the courts, legal action is time-consuming and costly, and outcomes are difficult to predict.

“Debt Register not only accelerates the payment of outstanding invoices, but also avoids the unpleasantness of legal action and brings greater certainty and predictability to a credit manager’s cash flow.”

Gary says the new platform complements the credit management team, it doesn’t replace them: “Debt Register is designed to drastically improve payment performance and relieve the pressure on busy credit management teams, allowing them to focus the most important aspect of business, securing future income.”

Along with shortening the timeframe of remittance, Debt Register provides a series of tools to credit managers including auto-translation for use within multiple territories. The system is intelligent, to recognise different time zones, working days and cultural nuances including national holidays or religious festivals, and times the despatch of any communications accordingly.

“It’s a very clever system that recognises a debt in Dubai, for example, and will not, therefore, send any correspondence on a Friday which is not a working day.”

For smaller businesses, Debt Register provides a lifetime free credit service allowing them to load and collect up to five free debts a year.

The platform has also been designed to streamline the payment process for the debtor with a specially designed portal providing three points of payment resolution as well as a series of tools including messaging services and payment acknowledgement tools.

Debt Register is available globally and designed to suit any business regardless of industry and offers a series of free trial options and tailored pricing, utilising a license-based model rather than charging per user seat.
