But that has started to change as fintech has come to debt buying and selling.

My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Matthew Wratten, the CEO and founder of EverChain (formerly known as Debt Trader). EverChain has created a platform that allows debt buyers and sellers to manage their non-performing loans with a level of technology and compliance not before seen in the industry. In this podcast you will learn:

The founding story of EverChain.
The state of the debt buying industry today.
What was wrong with how the debt sales process worked historically.
How EverChain has made it easier.
What is involved in the onboarding process for lenders.
The different lending verticals they operate in today.
The thinking behind the rebrand to EverChain.
How they are working with the buy now pay later companies.
The kind of volume you need to participate on EverChain’s platform.
How they work with debt buyers.
How they deal with buyers that receive a lot of complaints.
Matthew’s thoughts about when lenders should be selling their non-performing loans.
How they provide guidance to sellers on portfolio pricing.
His thoughts on the action the CFPB has taken against debt collectors.
How they are keeping on top of the changing rules at the different levels of government.
What is next for EverChain.
