Company profile
researched Sep 2026MaiCall is a B2B SaaS debt-management platform that deploys voice AI agents to automate customer communication inside collections departments. The product is organised around three components: trained voice AI agents capable of negotiation, a debt-portfolio management platform in which the AI builds debtor interaction strategies and tailored debt-resolution offers, and a debtor portal for self-service repayment and communication. Agents operate 24/7 across phone, SMS, WhatsApp and email, detect emotional cues and adjust tone, negotiate payment plans, restructurings and discounts within client-defined rules, capture a Promise to Pay, and follow up until payment is made. The company states the voice agent can handle up to 80% of customer communication in a collections department.
Operationally the platform bundles telephony features such as number rotation, answering-machine detection and voicemail detection; WhatsApp messaging sent from physical numbers rather than the Business API; Google Calendar invitations to debtors carrying the payment date; and real-time analytics covering recovery, right-party contact, promise-to-pay and roll rate, plus transcripts, dashboards and GPT-based analysis. Integrations with loan management systems, CRMs, SIP trunks and payment gateways are offered via API or CSV. The company markets itself to non-bank lenders, microfinance providers and collection agencies, and references awareness of regulators including CONDUSEF, BNR, NBU, KNF and CNMV in its target markets.
MaiCall publishes performance claims of a 22% increase in recovery rate, a 34% contact rate via WhatsApp, and a 57% reduction in collection costs relative to human operators, the latter described as A/B tested across more than ten Mexican lenders. The website is operated by AIConectly OÜ, registered in Tallinn, Estonia, with development described as taking place in Ukraine and Estonia.
Founding story
The company originated from a November 2024 discussion between Vadym Bortnyk and Oleksandr Serhunin about progress in AI deployment. Bortnyk, a serial entrepreneur who had spent the prior three years running an online lending management company in Mexico and Sri Lanka and built a call centre of about 170 agents there, had direct experience of collections in microcredit markets in LATAM and Asia. Serhunin brought more than 15 years of building fintech and retail products; the two had previously worked together automating the Fresh Line franchise network. Together with their technical team they decided to automate debt collection, framing the mission as making collections an ethical process based on respect, transparency and empathy.
Business model
Subscription-based B2B SaaS. The platform is sold to debt-management departments and collection agencies, with charges reported at $500 per month per module plus a usage fee for voice AI of roughly $0.12 per minute, varying by volume and country, and implementation and integration fees starting at $5,000. The company's website also advertises tiered plans and states that integrations into a customer's loan management system, CRM, SIP trunk, payment gateway and calendar can be wired up via API or CSV within 48 hours.
Recurring monthly subscription per module combined with per-minute usage charges for voice AI calls, plus one-off implementation and integration fees.
Traction
As of July 2025 the company reported five onboarded clients plus four pilot programmes. A deployment for SpaceCrew (OnCredit) was described as processing 100,000 calls per month, avoiding 120 new hires and yielding annual savings of $480,000, with the client projecting a $600,000 annual voice AI budget to cover its full client base; an inDrive deployment targets 34,000 calls per month with projected annual savings of $120,000 and avoids hiring 20 operators. In March 2026 the CEO reported monthly recurring revenue of $20,000. A customer in Mexico is quoted stating that 88% of AI-managed conversations reach their goal and secure a Promise to Pay.
Latest developments
In March 2026 MaiCall reported raising €25,000 in angel investment through the Bridge to Scale programme initiated by 1991 Accelerator. The CEO stated the company had raised $100,000 in total, held commitments from Startup Wise Guys worth $115,000, had reached $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue, and was preparing to close a $500,000 financing round in April. The company's stated plan is to raise $500,000 in pre-seed capital, reach $1 million ARR and expand across LATAM and CEE into microfinance, medical debt and utilities.

Market position
The company positions itself against IVR and scripted scenario bots and against outsourced or in-house human call centres, arguing its agents negotiate rather than read scripts and reduce dependence on operator headcount. It cites a 2023 global debt collection market of $30.2 billion, of which $15 billion is attributed to in-house solutions, as the segment it targets.
Emphasis on negotiation capability (payment plans, restructuring and discounts within lender-set rules) rather than scripted IVR flows; native-accent voice output in the debtor's language; self-learning on each conversation; WhatsApp outreach from physical numbers to avoid Business API blocks; a single agent covering voice, WhatsApp, SMS and email without manual handoff between tools; and rapid integration into existing lender systems. The founding team is presented as collections operators rather than AI researchers.
Technology
Voice AI agents trained for negotiation that operate in multiple languages with local accents — the website cites 30+ languages, while a March 2026 report describes mass calling in 10 languages and over 30 voices. The system is described as self-learning, training on each conversation so that performance improves over a three-to-four-month period on a given portfolio. Telephony capabilities include number rotation, answering-machine and voicemail detection. Messaging uses human-style WhatsApp sent from physical numbers to avoid Business API blocking, alongside SMS and email. Analytics features include call transcripts, dashboards and GPT-based analysis, with real-time metrics on recovery, right-party contact, promise-to-pay and roll rate.
Go-to-market
Initial customers were won through the founders' personal networks in the fintech and collections industries. Paid promotion began with LinkedIn advertising targeted at Mexico, the Netherlands and the United States. The website sells via a booked demo, offering a 30-minute call with a collections lead, portfolio benchmarks from comparable Mexican, Romanian and Ukrainian books, and a tailored demo on a chosen delinquency segment (pre-collection, 30 DPD, 60+ DPD).
Non-bank lenders, microfinance companies, fintech lenders and collection agencies, specifically their in-house debt-management and collections departments. Named or referenced users include SpaceCrew (OnCredit), inDrive, MK Kredit in Romania, and multiple Mexican lenders. The company also identifies medical debt and utilities as adjacent sectors it intends to enter.
Geography
Development is described as taking place in Ukraine and Estonia, with the website operator AIConectly OÜ registered in Tallinn, Estonia. Commercial focus is on Mexico and the wider LATAM region, Romania, Ukraine, Poland and Spain, with stated ambitions in CEE, other LATAM markets and Asia including Italy, Indonesia and the Philippines. The founders' prior operating experience spans Singapore, Mexico and Sri Lanka.
History
Founded following a November 2024 decision by the founding team to build an AI collections agent, MaiCall launched as a B2B SaaS platform with voice AI agents and expanded into additional channels including SMS, email and WhatsApp, with a manager Copilot and human agents planned. By July 2025 the team numbered nine people — the two founders plus an AI engineer, a platform development engineer, a QA specialist, a product owner and a GTM specialist — with plans to add a sales development representative, a marketer, three engineers and a security specialist. In March 2026 the company reported raising €25,000 in angel investment through the Bridge to Scale programme run by 1991 Accelerator, $100,000 raised in total, commitments from Startup Wise Guys and preparation to close a $500,000 round.
Risks & controversies
Performance and savings figures — recovery uplift, cost reduction, promise-to-pay rates and projected client savings — originate from the company and its customers rather than independent verification, and several client savings figures are projections. Operating in consumer debt collection exposes the company to conduct and data-protection regulation in each market, with the company itself referencing CONDUSEF, BNR, NBU, KNF and CNMV regimes. Its WhatsApp outreach is explicitly described as sending from physical numbers to bypass Business API blocks. The public website also contains unrelated placeholder content, including generic pricing tiers, template testimonials referencing an unrelated product name, and placeholder US contact addresses and phone numbers.
