OptiDep was born from a simple observation: debt collection in South Africa was stuck in the past. Agencies relied on spreadsheets, manual processes, and outdated software that made compliance a nightmare and recovery rates stagnated.
Founded in 2023 by a team of fintech veterans and former NCR regulators, OptiDep set out to build a platform that would transform the industry. We combined deep domain expertise in credit management with cutting-edge technology — AI, automation, and cloud infrastructure — to create an NCR registered debt collection CRM that works for everyone.
Today, OptiDep is trusted by over 127 businesses across South Africa, from small collection agencies to large financial institutions. We have helped recover over R2.1 million in debt while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and debtor treatment.
