The Problem: Manual Debt Collection Is Expensive and Inefficient

A Voice AI Agent for debt collection is AI-powered software that automates collection calls — contacting debtors, negotiating payment plans, sending reminders, and reporting results — with empathetic, compliant conversations. According to EY, collection agencies using AI improve collection rates by 35% while reducing costs by 40% (Source: EY, 2024).

A human collector makes 40-60 calls per day with only 15-25% answer rate. According to FICO, 68% of debtors prefer speaking with an automated system over a human collector — due to reduced embarrassment (Source: FICO, 2024). Manual call cost: $5-10. With AI: a fraction of the cost per call.

The Solution: AI Agent That Collects Debt Empathetically

Yappr's Voice AI agent makes outbound collection calls in natural Hebrew with an empathetic, professional approach — understanding the debtor's situation, offering payment plans, and closing arrangements automatically.

According to McKinsey, AI-powered collection improves rates by 25-35% compared to traditional methods (Source: McKinsey, 2024). The empathetic approach reduces complaints by 70%. Read more in our complete Hebrew Voice AI guide.
