How is the Canadian collections landscape evolving? And what can global creditors learn from it?

In this episode of Better Debt, InDebted CEO Josh Foreman is joined by Kevin Pretty (Strategic Account Executive, Equifax Canada; President of RMA Canada) and Blair DeMarco-Wettlaufer (CEO, Kingston Data and Credit; Executive Director, RMA Canada) to explore the unique trends, challenges and opportunities in Canada’s collections sector.

They discuss:

• The rise of digital-first collections strategies and what’s holding back adoption of AI
  
  
  
• How Canada’s unique regulatory and cultural environment differs from the US,  and why that matters
  
  
  
• The role of RMA Canada in helping members navigate regulation, professional development, and industry collaboration
