Why modern lenders are turning to Kato

Automate the routine work so your agents can focus on what matters

Kato pulls borrower data, answers questions, moves the account to a resolution, and tags each call for easy review. Your agents only deal with the calls that require a human touch.

3 hrs

saved per agent, per day


Recover more from every campaign

Kato launches in weeks, then partners with your team to keep refining conversation flows, negotiation tactics, and objection handling. Every round of tuning means more calls resolve on the spot and more of your book gets recovered.

recovery lift vs control group


Compliant with regulations and procedures on every call, by design

Kato follows your scripts and procedures as written. We won't invent a fee waiver, misstate a balance, or call outside the hours and frequency each state allows. TCPA and FDCPA rules are enforced by the platform, not left to AI.

  • Script templates, not free-form generation
  • Platform-wide handling of consent revocation, bankruptcies, and other special circumstances
  • Every call recorded and transcribed for audit

Designed to meet the needs of modern lenders

Granular call insights

Every call is recorded, transcribed, and tagged by outcome. Review any conversation for QA or a tailored follow-up.

Stick to the script

Kato works from your script templates, not free-form generation, so every borrower interaction stays compliant at scale. The AI adapts tone to the borrower, so calls still sound empathetic.

Limited content voicemails

When a borrower doesn't pick up, Kato leaves a limited content voicemail so they know who called and how to reach you, without disclosing anything about the debt. No separate voicemail drop service needed.

Deep systems integrations

Kato connects to your loan management system, CRM, and other systems of record so it can pull borrower data and update the account without an agent re-keying anything. Custom integrations with in-house systems are available.

Deep systems integrations

Consent revocation tracking

Kato tracks when a borrower verbally revokes call consent, along with bankruptcies and other special circumstances, and honors them platform-wide so you can stay compliant.

Consent revocation tracking

Enterprise-grade support

Onsite onboarding and a hands-on team that keeps iterating with you as your volume grows.
