What Members Say
Trusted by Credit Professionals Across the Country.
"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."
"The NTCR is essential for researching an account before allowing them credit. Members also submit accounts monthly, which are compiled into a booklet for our meetings. Each of these accounts are listed in the packet with their past and present tradelines, an embers at the meeting are encouraged to share their factual experience with these accounts.
