Skip Tracing Solution – Smart BorrowerTracking for Vietnam
Loan defaults are one of the biggest challenges faced by banks, NBFCs, and microfinance institutions in Vietnam. As lending expands across the country, so does the risk of borrowers who miss payments or disappear without providing updated contact information. Tracking these customers manually is expensive, time-consuming, and often yields poor results.
To solve this challenge, iKonTel introduces its AI-powered Skip Tracing Solution, designed specifically for financial institutions in Vietnam. By leveraging advanced data analytics, AI, and local communication channels, lenders can quickly locate unreachable borrowers, re-establish contact, and recover overdue payments—while staying compliant with State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) regulations.

Why Skip Tracing is Critical in Vietnam
Vietnam’s financial landscape is changing rapidly:
- Rising demand for personal loans, BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later), and credit cards
- Increasing urban migration, with borrowers frequently changing addresses or phone numbers
- Dependence on mobile-first communication through Zalo, MoMo, and SMS
- Higher competition among lenders, making default recovery more urgent
Traditional follow-up methods—manual calling, field visits, and third-party collection agencies—are slow and costly. A digital skip tracing solution is the smarter alternative.
The Future of Loan Recovery in Vietnam
As Vietnam’s financial market grows, lenders must adopt technology-driven recovery methods to stay competitive. Skip tracing is no longer just about finding borrowers—it’s about using AI, automation, and local digital channels to ensure fast, compliant, and cost-effective loan recovery.
Ikontel’s Skip Tracing Solution helps Vietnamese banks and NBFCs locate defaulters, improve recovery rates, and strengthen borrower relationships without adding extra burden to their teams.
For financial institutions looking to reduce defaults and enhance efficiency, skip tracing with AI is the future.

Consider a borrower in Da Nang who changes phone numbers after missing multiple EMI payments. Traditionally, the lender might lose contact for weeks. With Ikontel’s Skip Tracing Solution, AI quickly identifies the borrower’s updated number from alternate databases. An automated Zalo message is sent with a repayment link via ZaloPay/MoMo, followed by a personalized voicebot call in Vietnamese.
The borrower repays instantly—reducing the lender’s risk and restoring customer trust.
