Automated credit recovery engine (ACRE) is an automated tool that helps the group recover outstanding payments on loans using a pre-configured repayment plan that retrieves funds from borrower contributions and/or their guarantors (another feature that allows you to set guarantors before a loan/fund can be disbursed, thus minimizing risk).

Once a loan and all its interest is fully recovered ACRE will initiate a Loan Closure Adjustment to stop generating interest.

With ACRE you can minimize the risk of bad loans, ensuring that no matter how long it takes, you can recover the loan.

ACRE can be enabled/disabled from your Settings
