"Our company has been a member of the BICB for over 10 years. A previous company that I worked for was also a member for approx. 15 years so my association goes back a long way. The benefits of being a member of the BICB is enormous. I simply couldn’t function in my role without it and it has saved our company many thousands of dollars in bad debts and legal costs over the years.
Their integrity cannot be questioned and I encourage all credit professionals to become members. Their data is accurate and timely which is what we need in this very challenging environment."
