Credit Workbench
Credit Workbench® is an online credit management platform that helps B2B trade vendors make better, faster, safer credit decisions.
Trade credit is one of the most important sources of working capital in the United States, with nearly $5 trillion outstanding—about a third of all business debt—yet nearly three out of every four trade vendors still use paper credit applications. Starting with a secure online credit application, we help trade vendors think like working capital lenders, because that’s exactly what they are.
Our secure online credit application uses a familiar, multi-step format that gets your customers to submit higher-quality information than a paper form. Our forms take less than half the time to complete, are more likely to be completed in full, and take a fraction of the time to process because all relevant information is in one place in a convenient, web-based dashboard. The Credit Workbench platform gathers data in a secure electronic format and creates a permanent electronic record in case of future collection efforts, litigation, or bankruptcy.
With our industry-leading Express Setup and best practices templates and workflows, you can sign up in the morning and supercharge your credit process before lunch.
