Collection House is one of Australia’s largest and most respected end-to-end receivables management companies. For over 25 years, the Group has developed deep customer service capabilities and delivered world-class systems that enable it to provide practical, customer focussed and cost-effective solutions in collections, credit management and customer care. We do that through first party and third party contingent collection arrangements and outsourced support style contracts. We own a small portfolio of purchased debt in New Zealand and retain the organisational capability to value and manage purchased debt portfolios for ourselves and others.

We are a purpose-driven organisation that aspires to help both businesses and individuals improve their financial positions. We seek to lead positive change within the financial services sector and have greater social impact in the communities in which we operate, through collaboration with a range of community partners that share our desire to champion financial inclusion for all.

We have challenged ourselves to reimagine how we can take our experience in the receivables management sector and apply it to support clients and customers through creating best in class solutions across voice, digital and traditional engagement channels. These technical capabilities are supported by a philosophy that genuine care for our customers requires deep human connection. Our strong digital capabilities are backed by a high touch, high care approach to customer engagement which is essential in supporting customer experiencing vulnerability and hardship.

The Group employs over 700 people across Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, providing a strong platform for growth, but more importantly the capacity, resources and scale to provide the highest standards of service to our diversified portfolio of clients across the globe. Collection House has the inherent flexibility and operational agility to challenge historical expectations of service, compliance and conduct in the receivables management space.

Experience design

Having a strong purpose and intent alone can’t deliver the outcomes clients require and customers deserve. The theory must become practice, and that practice should be an experience.

At Collection House, we recognise the importance of high-quality employee, client and customer experience. These work together to co-create an environment that supports high performance and engagement.

Employee Experience

Our employee engagement strategy empowers our employees through access to innovative learning and development opportunities as well as the latest tech, thoughtful cultural initiatives, and an emphasis on emotionally intelligent performance conversations. At its core, we believe that having happy employees makes for higher quality services and higher levels of customer satisfaction.
