When looking for a collection agency, you and your students should have the best experience possible.
Let’s be honest. Your students are smart. After all, they came to you for an education.
Your students receive a Student-First Approach when we collect. Because you believe that your students deserve the best before, during and after their studies. And so do we.
When we speak to your students, we do it with the utmost respect. Our scripts are monitored on each and every call, ensuring that your students are treated well.
Cedar Financial believes in giving your students options. We communicate with them the way they prefer, whether that is via phone, email, text, chat bot, letter, etc.
College is difficult enough on its own. Paying their bill shouldn’t be a hassle. We offer multiple ways for them to pay, including an easy-to-use online portal.
Regardless of where your students are, Cedar Financial will find and collect. We have agents all over the globe ready to work for you.
Cedar Financial takes great care in customizing a collection plan that works best for your needs. No company is the same, why should collection be?
We give you 24/7 access to your accounts, so you can see exactly what progress is being made in real time.
Since 1991, Cedar Financial has been achieving higher recovery rates for our clients.
We provide custom accounts receivable management (ARM) solutions for colleges and universities of all sizes.
When it comes to debt collection agencies, you have choices. However, the wrong choice could put your student relationships at risk.
At Cedar Financial, we believe that your success is our success. That’s why we go the extra mile to provide the most comprehensive, professional service in the industry.
No matter where your student is located, we’ve got you covered. Headquartered in California, Cedar Financial is licensed to collect anywhere in the United States, with access to a worldwide network of nationally licensed debt collectors.
An ACA International and TCM Group partner, we adhere to the highest ethical, professional and customer service standards in the industry.
We have spent the last 30 years vetting our powerful network of international collection agency partners. These local agents are familiar with the language, culture, and laws of your students for more effective dispute resolution and cross-border debt recovery.
Our skilled bill collectors understand the ins and outs of complex billing processes. We guide your students along their journey to payment by educating them about their bills, removing potential obstacles and providing options for easy payment.
The result? A positive payment experience and faster recovery of your funds.
Past-due bills often hit people at the lowest times in their lives. Aggressive collections can alienate students more, putting your funds and reputation at risk.
At Cedar Financial, we believe a human approach gets better results – and students agree!
By treating every student with dignity and respect, we build a relationship of trust, making it more likely that they will pay when they have the means.
Nothing is less inspiring than a generic demand for payment written in “legalese.”
At Cedar Financial, we make every contact count, crafting our letters, emails, and phone scripts to fit student-, client- and industry-specific needs. We greet students by name, proactively address disputes and provide easy options in a soft language your student will understand.
Today’s consumers don’t like talking on the phone or opening mail – yet most collections are still done only through traditional channels.
With easy self-service options, students can pay on their own time, or contact us on their channel of choice for extra support.
