Visa International awards Credit Bureau project to PIC

Johannesburg, 26 Sep 2002

PIC Solutions has been awarded the research and delivery of a comprehensive manual on Credit Bureau Benefits and Best Practices for Visa International.

PIC consultants will prepare a report outlining the structure, benefits and evolution of Credit Bureaux. Some of the topics included are legal issues, infrastructure challenges, data requirements, benefits and timeframes for implementation for the Visa member banks.

This assignment follows on from the successful Visa credit risk best practices initiative that was completed by PIC in 2001.

Stuart Clayton, Head of Credit & Co-branding Products, states: "The greatest barrier to Visa credit card issuance in the CEMEA region is, understandably, the banks` fear of risk. This manual is an excellent means of building knowledge and confidence, and PIC were ideally placed to complete this assignment after the success of the seminars that they have previously delivered."

Stephen Leonard, Managing Director of PIC Solutions, adds: "We are delighted to continue our successful relationship with Visa International and believe that one of the reasons why PIC Solutions was selected for this assignment is that we have a successful track record of working with credit bureaux in the CEMEA region. In fact, SA is only one of four countries in the world with multiple credit bureaux scores available for credit grantors and as such it provides an excellent model for other countries in the CEMEA region to follow."
