Work History
Customer Adviser Pre-Collection
NOBA Bank Group
Stockholm, Sweden
08.2023 - Current
As a Customer Adviser I help current clients, who are having challenges handling their monthly payments, to find sustainable solutions to manage their loans.
Mostly I make outgoing calls, but also take incoming calls to help our clients. I work with our SEIA model, where I analyze the situation first and ask questions to understand the clients needs. After establishing a connection with the client we work together to find a solution. After the call, I handle the case through proper administration and schedule follow ups.
Throughout my short tenure at NOBA I have advanced to learn the mortgage side of collections as well as the private loan. At NOBA we are having ongoing trainings to ensure we stay current with the rules and regulations set for the finance industry.
In addition to my position in the Swedish Pre‑Collection team, I have also been involved in our Collection Engagement Group who work to involve and create networking events for the entire Collection Department.
