Challenge

This leading telecommunications company in the UK was planning to transition from an airtime-only offering to a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated product, but needed support in ensuring its operations complied with FCA regulations around collections.

In the process, the client hoped to increase its cash collection efficiency, reduce operational costs, and ensure high-quality customer interactions, especially for vulnerable customers. Achieving FCA compliance while optimizing cash collected required a partner capable of delivering compliance support while maximizing commercial performance.
