As a duly licensed credit bureau, in The Bahamas CRIF collects credit information from the Credit Reporting Act authorized Credit Information Providers (CIP’s), such as banks, credit unions, building societies, micro finance organizations, etc.; the information is then validated and transformed into factual and usable credit reports. These credit reports are then used by credit grantors and other approved users to assess an individual’s or company’s credit worthiness for loans, mortgages and a variety of other uses within the purview of the Credit Reporting Act 2018.
