Real Insights from Real World Payment Experiences

To truly understand the financial health of a business, it is essential to review its payment behavior.

 

This goes beyond core obligations such as wages, mortgages, or telecommunications, which are fundamental requirements of operating a business. Instead, greater insight is gained by examining payments to suppliers further down the payment hierarchy. These discretionary or non-essential payments are often the first to be delayed or missed when a business begins to experience financial pressure. As a result, missed supplier payments can be a far stronger indicator of financial distress.

To better understand this hierarchy of payments, Creditsafe powers the technology platform used by leading industry credit groups across the United States. These organizations trust Creditsafe to host their groups and manage their payment ledgers, providing access to billions of dollars in real-world supplier payment data.

Late Payments

Having used a competitor for many years, I found Creditsafe to be more intuitive, better to navigate and provided me with enhanced features that will benefit with reporting functionalities.

Every customer also benefits from a dedicated account manager and unlimited training, so you know you’ll get the most out of your Creditsafe account.

How quickly can my business start using Creditsafe?

Most businesses are up and running with Creditsafe the same day they join us. Experian and other options involve longer onboarding processes, additional technical setup and complicated training. Creditsafe is built for speed and simplicity, with onboarding support included to get you live in hours – not weeks. 

What makes Creditsafe different to Experian?

The difference is our focus on customer experience. Creditsafe stands out over Experian for our usability, transparency and support. Our business intelligence platform delivers more insights at a lower cost, with seamless integrations that let you run credit checks directly from your CRM or ERP platform. Creditsafe has also become the most used supplier of business credit information that is trusted by over 115,000 businesses worldwide.

Does Creditsafe integrate with my existing system?

Yes. Creditsafe provides pre-built integrations with major CRMs, ERPs and finance platforms. Experian integrations often require more customization or multiple APIs. With Creditsafe, integration is simple and allows you to run credit checks directly from the systems you already use. 

Is Creditsafe easier to use than Experian?

Creditsafe is straightforward and easy to use, so teams can get started quickly. While looking for important information within Experian’s platforms can feel like a treasure hunt, Creditsafe is all about simplicity.

We also include unlimited training and dedicated support, so your team is productive from day one.

How does Creditsafe’s pricing compare with Experian’s?

Does Creditsafe offer a free trial?

Yes. Creditsafe offers a free trial so you can experience our platform and reports firsthand. We also provide sandbox access to our API and integrations, so it’s easy to test within your existing systems. Our competitors, including Experian, typically don’t offer the same level of hands-on trial access.

Creditsafe sources data from over 9,000 trusted sources worldwide. Plus, we update our data up to 5 million times a day, so it’s always accurate and up-to-date.
