A Word From Our Members

One thing that I'm thankful for is the variety of credit reports that I'm able to obtain from NACM. It helps to make credit decisions and having those tools at my fingertips is just another reason why NACM is so valuable.

Having quick, complete, and accurate credit information at my fingertips is an absolute necessity in today’s ever-changing environment. Experian provides the tools we need to determine credit risk and make sound credit decisions for the wellness of my company.

In order to do a complete and thorough job on risk analysis, I need quick and reliable information, Experian provides me with both and helps me to quickly determine a business’s creditworthiness which gives a more consistent track record for credit decisions.

Utilizing NACM’s international credit reports is essential for mitigating risk within our international portfolio. NACM simplifies the ordering process and ensures prompt, courteous service.

NACM’s National Trade Credit Reports are an integral part of our credit decision making process. Doing a routine credit check on a “good-paying customer” has led to unexpected red flags that have assisted in our ability to act quicker than we otherwise would have.

Utilizing D&B Solutions helps our company manage our portfolio. We can review our risk exposure at any time with a click of a button. The information provided is accurate and current.

NACM Commercial Services has proven to be a vital partner in today’s business environment.

NACM has allowed me to build many relationships and grow in my career. Credit has so many ups and downs that you build a different type of bond with the people you work and collaborate with, starting with one of their very own, Clara Nemeth. Thank you for always being a great resource on which I know I can depend.

As a member of NACM, I have always enjoyed the great networking opportunities that allow me to learn and grow alongside other credit professionals. No credit reports or textbooks can replace the immense knowledge shared at industry groups and conferences.

Our NACM CS membership has been invaluable, providing us with critical industry intelligence and trends through insightful group meetings. Additionally, the strong relationships we’ve built with fellow members provide opportunities to share and collaborate on new industry technologies and changes.
