The AI Infrastructure Behind a New Era of Debt Negotiation

Redesigning Debt from the Inside Out

  • Built for public trust.

  • Designed with systemic care.

  • Powered by negotiation intelligence.

Vera is AI negotiation protocol designed to restore fairness in debt collection. Built for regulators, councils, BNPLs, fintechs, and institutions seeking public trust, Vera enables compliant, transparent, and trauma-informed debt resolution at scale.

Vera is a category-defining infrastructure designed to center dignity, transparency, and safety — not just speed. In an era of open banking, AI, and heightened regulation, we enable systems that don’t just collect — they repair.

  • Converts legacy debt letters into interactive, rights-aware journeys

  • Surfaces relevant options: affordability, disputes, repayment plans

  • Flags vulnerability indicators, triggers escalation paths

  • Explains decisions with regulatory-grade transparency

  • Aligns to FCA's Consumer Duty, CONC 7, and ethical AI standards
