The South African Credit Environment


In South Africa, the ratio of household debt to disposable income has grown to a record height of 73%, as at December 2006. Credit growth is likely to remain strong ahead of the implementation of the National Credit Act which is aimed at curbing irresponsible lending. This industry growth will further increase the already critical reliance on credit systems to ensure the continuing success of all companies offering credit.

In Credit, leading-edge technology is one of the key drivers ensuring efficiency and optimal results. It is important that your ICT systems are synchronised with and support your credit strategies and the overall goals of your credit department in order to assure a consistent, successful approach.
