About Us

We created Servicing Solutions when we realized that the financial services outsourcing industry was ripe for a shakeup.

We do things differently, bringing back the human factor into servicing the big companies, while championing the fintech industry’s up-and-coming entrepreneurs and helping them grow.

When you invest in real experience, everyone experiences the difference.

OUR MISSION

At Servicing Solutions, we dare to imagine, experiment and innovate to deliver the kind of superior service we like to receive ourselves. We act from experience, and our goal is simple – to bring that experience, ingenuity, talent, analytics and a technological advantage to an industry ripe for change. Servicing Solutions is on a mission to redefine portfolio servicing for good by changing the transactional client experience to one that is more collaborative, relational and transparent.

OUR LEADERSHIP

We come from every corner of the United States and we’re proud of our diverse and inclusive workforce. Our executive management team averages 25+ years working together. The upper and mid-level management teams have worked together on average 15+ years. We love working together and we do it well, having walked in your shoes. We’ve serviced our “own” portfolios at several different organizations and understand your challenges and see your opportunities.

OUR APPROACH

We have serviced portfolios experiencing hyper growth and have turned around many underperforming portfolios. We leverage our experience to implement best practices with an appropriate blend of new and emergent technologies, balanced with genuine, face-to-face interaction. As a result, our clients benefit from a fresh approach to loan servicing focused fully on the overall customer journey and the bottom line.
