Collections is emerging as the next major customer experience battleground. Rising household debt, higher APRs, and increasing transitions into delinquency are driving up cost-to-collect, while customer expectations are being reshaped by always-on, AI-powered digital experiences. At the same time, regulators are intensifying scrutiny around digital outreach, AI explainability, and Regulation F compliance.
