Collections Agent role focused on recovering overdue loans for fintech Oze in Ghana. Engaging with borrowers through various communication channels to enhance portfolio health.

Responsibilities:

  • Contact and engage delinquent borrowers through phone, SMS, and in-person visits to recover overdue repayments
  • Conduct structured field visits to borrower locations across Accra and assigned territories
  • Negotiate repayment plans and settlements in line with company policy
  • Keep accurate, up-to-date records of every contact, visit, and outcome in our loan management system
  • Work with the credit and risk team to prioritise accounts by delinquency bucket and risk level

  • Hit monthly collection targets and recovery rate KPIs
  • Represent Oze professionally in every interaction; our reputation in the field matters

Requirements:

  • 1–2+ years of experience in loan collections, field recovery, or credit collections (fintech, microfinance, or banking strongly preferred)
  • A proven track record of hitting and exceeding collections targets
  • Strong negotiation, persuasion, and conflict resolution skills — you can hold a difficult conversation and still leave the borrower willing to pay
  • Fluent English; proficiency in Twi is a strong advantage, and other Ghanaian languages (Ga, Ewe, Hausa) are a plus given Accra's mix
  • Deep familiarity with Accra — you know how to navigate the city efficiently
  • Self-motivated and resilient; comfortable working independently in the field
  • Familiarity with loan management systems or CRM tools is a plus
  • Valid ID, willingness to travel within assigned territory, and a smartphone with reliable internet

Benefits:

  • Clear growth path as we scale collections in Ghana
