What I'm looking for

I’m looking to work where I can drive loan recovery and customer outcomes while staying fully compliant. I want a role that values ethical banking, strong communication, measurable targets, and continuous improvement in collection and credit processes.

I’m a highly experienced banker focused on bank sales, customer care, and loan recovery. I’m committed to serving clients professionally and ethically, with strong communication skills and an ability to negotiate outcomes that keep customers on track with payment promises.

In my recent role as a Soft Collections and Recovery Officer at FINCA Bank MDI, I monitored and coordinated recovery activities for both active and written-off loans across assigned branches. I negotiated repayment of bad debts at the lowest cost to the Bank, maintained 100% compliance with policies and regulatory requirements, and ensured recoveries were properly booked and reconciled. I also updated the Collections tool daily and managed monthly reporting requirements for the loans under my follow-up.

Previously, as an Account Relationship Officer, I marketed FINCA products and services, grew deposits and the loan portfolio value in Masaka in line with set targets, and prepared detailed loan applications aligned with credit policy. As a Credit Officer at Private Sector Platinum Credit Limited, I collected and reviewed loan applications, performed professional financial analysis and credit reviews, and exceeded sales goals—supported by training such as Certificate of Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing Terrorism (AMLCFT), Emotional Intelligence, and Information Security Awareness.
