Debt Review Awards Results (Credit Providers)

The top Credit Providers in each credit provider category were identified at the annual Debt Review Awards Show on September 11th.

During the online Debt Review Awards show (which was streamed via YouTube) the results of the industry wide peer review were announced including those credit providers recognised for excellence in the debt review process.

Top Credit Providers

Different credit providers offer different forms of credit and many specialise in their offerings. Others, like the banks, cross over into multiple forms of credit offerings.

This year Standard Bank had a very strong showing taking 3 of the Credit Provider categories.

Congratulations to all those credit providers who were so highly rated by Debt Counsellors. There are over 8000 different credit providers registered with the National Credit Regulator so to be recognised by their peers (in this case the Debt Counsellors) for their hard work and efforts is quite an accomplishment.
