Company Overview

Debt Recovery With a Human Understanding.

FDE Debt Collections was established in July 2017 and operates as a Level 2 B-BBEE SME contributor. Since our establishment, we have developed into a national provider of debt recovery, collection, tracing and verification services.

Our team brings more than 40 years of combined debt-collection experience to every client relationship. This experience extends across individual, corporate, commercial, agricultural and aviation-related products at all stages of delinquency.

We combine centralised contact-centre capabilities, virtual representation and field resources to support clients and customers throughout South Africa.

While technology and structured processes are important, successful debt recovery still depends on people. We therefore approach each interaction with professionalism, empathy and an understanding of the circumstances behind the account.
