FMA Alliance

What FMA Alliance does

FMA Alliance, Ltd. is a privately-held receivables management and contact management company founded in 1983 and headquartered at 11410 Greens Crossing Blvd, Suite 100, Houston, Texas. The company provides third-party debt collection (primary and secondary bad debt, early-out/self-pay, balance-after-insurance, denial management), student loan and government collections, and outsourced 24/7/365 multilingual call center services for hundreds of clients across the United States, including FORTUNE 500 banks and retailers, top-tier hospital systems, federal/state/municipal agencies, and educational institutions. FMA operates from a US-based contact center with several hundred employees and bilingual capabilities, and markets its services along five vertical service lines: Financial Services, Healthcare, Student Loan Collections, Government Collections, and Call Center Services.

FMA's technology stack is built around the proprietary Infinity System, which integrates Genesys PureConnect for dynamic dialing and contact identification, layered with a proprietary scoring matrix for collectability and call efficiency, automated and manual skip-tracing, and an Intelligent Negotiator within the consumer-facing FMA Pay (payfma.com) portal that has processed over $7.4 million in payments. The platform records and monitors 100% of calls versus an industry standard of less than 5%, and is supported by compliance and security certifications including PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II (SSAE 18), NIST 800-53, RMAI, ACA Blueprint, BBB A+, and GSA PSS, plus state-level collection licensing across Minnesota, Tennessee, New York City, North Carolina, and Colorado. Distribution is exclusively B2B direct enterprise sales in the United States, augmented by the FMA Pay self-service consumer payment channel.

The revenue model is principally transaction-fee based on contingency collections for institutional creditors, supplemented by professional services fees for outsourced call center engagements under custom contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-controlled (co-founders Jeff Spiegelhauer and Doyle Burkett remain active, with President Michael Janakes leading day-to-day operations) and shows no evidence of external institutional investment, M&A, or public-market activity across the input data.
