ANBC becomes a member of BIIA, an organization active in information services and credit bureaus in the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific.
Entities join forces to boost global best practices, including innovations in the Brazilian market
The National Association of Credit Agencies (ANBC) is now a member of the Business Information Industry Association (BIIA), an organization that represents companies involved in information services and credit agency ecosystems operating mainly in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. This collaboration provides a unique space for exchanging experiences and building joint solutions for emerging and developed markets.
The dialog between ANBC and BIIA aims to align the visibility of credit in Latin America with global best practices. For Elias Sfeir, president of ANBC, the partnership strengthens the sector, boosting sustainable development through the exchange of knowledge on regulation, innovation and the use of data. "ANBC acts as a driver of innovation and governance in the credit sector in Brazil and Latin America, and this initiative will further expand our action. We are recognized as the voice of innovation and sustainability in credit and our mission is to promote a fairer, more efficient and inclusive credit ecosystem, bringing benefits to all those involved," says Sfeir.
Neil Munroe, Managing Director of BIIA and Vice-President of the ICRC commented on ANBC's membership of BIIA - "It is great to be able to welcome ANBC to the BIIA community. With Latin American organizations taking an increasing interest in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and with BIIA's current members taking an active interest in building relationships in the region, ANBC's membership is very timely. We look forward to supporting ANBC in its important objectives and its contribution to BIIA's work"
In addition to its recent collaboration with BIIA, ANBC already maintains strategic partnerships with other major international organizations, such as ACCIS (European Credit Information Services Association), ALACRED (Latin American Credit Federation) and ICCR (International Credit Reporting Committee), reinforcing its commitment to modernizing and strengthening the global credit ecosystem. Among its main achievements are the implementation of the Positive Registry Program, which has already provided credit visibility to 21 million individuals and companies, the RCS of the Central Bank of Brazil, which has added another 6 million unpublished records, the constant search for new data sources, the promotion of credit, one of the engines of the economy and social welfare.
Initiatives such as studies, content for financial education and regulatory engagement, coordinated by ANBC, will have global visibility.
