Servicing & collections

The part that runs for three years

Origination is a moment; servicing is the entire life of the loan. Getting the arithmetic exactly right and surfacing problems early is what determines whether a digital lending book performs.

Arithmetic

Money is an integer, never a float

Every amount in Khepee is an integer number of paisa. It sounds pedantic until you amortise across 36 instalments in floating point and find the schedule no longer sums to the principal.

  • All amounts stored and transmitted as integer paisa
  • A fractional amount is rejected at the API boundary, not silently rounded
  • Rounding remainder assigned deliberately to the final instalment
  • Formatted to NPR at the interface layer only

Schedules

One schedule, visible to everyone who needs it

The schedule is generated once at activation and becomes the reference for the borrower, your officers and your reporting. There is no second version in a spreadsheet.

  • Generated at loan activation, from the terms actually approved
  • The borrower sees the same schedule your officers see
  • Each instalment tracked individually — paid, partial, overdue
  • Early settlement handled explicitly rather than as an exception

Reminders

Contact before the due date, in the borrower’s language

Most missed instalments are forgotten, not refused. Reminders sent a few days ahead, in Nepali or English, recover a meaningful share of them without any collections effort at all.

  • Configurable reminder schedule ahead of each due date
  • SMS and push, behind a provider interface you choose
  • Sent in the borrower’s selected language
  • Every notification recorded, so a dispute about contact has an answer

Overdue handling

Escalation on policy, not on someone remembering

  1. Day one

    The instalment is flagged overdue by a job that runs daily, not by a month-end review.

  2. Early contact

    Automated reminders continue on your configured cadence.

  3. Officer assignment

    The account appears in a collections queue with its full history attached.

  4. Escalation

    Movement to defaulted requires a written reason, and is fully audited.

  5. Cure

    A defaulted loan that resumes payment can return to active — the state machine supports recovery, not just failure.

Conduct

Collections that will not embarrass your institution

Digital lending has a reputational problem in several markets precisely because collections practice was left undefined. Khepee constrains it, and the code of conduct is published rather than internal.

  • No access to borrower contacts, photos or location — the app does not request those permissions
  • Contact frequency and hours bounded by configuration
  • No third-party disclosure of a borrower’s arrears
  • Every contact logged, so conduct can be audited rather than argued about

Oversight

Ageing you can see before it becomes a problem

Your team sees the portfolio position and ageing continuously rather than in a monthly report assembled after the fact.

  • Outstanding principal, disbursement volume and ageing buckets, live
  • Overdue accounts ranked by exposure and days past due
  • Cohort performance by product and by origination month
  • The same underlying data that produces your NRB extract
