3 Tinubu Credit Risk Intelligence Solutions Get Smarter About Customer Credit Risk On average, more than a third of every company s assets are tied up in accounts receivable. Across Europe and the world corporate leaders spend time and resources focusing on bank credit when the real risk to their company s bottom line performance is customer credit. To protect revenue and cash flow, companies of all sizes need to be smart and proactive about managing their customer credit risk. Everyone from senior executives to sales and marketing, credit management and accounts receivable (A/R) to IT needs quick access to updated details on the financial health of their buyers. This visibility should extend from headquarters across enterprise locations so that everyone sees one version of the truth about their business. Tinubu Credit Risk Intelligence, the preferred credit risk management solution for leading credit insurers around the world, enables companies to see, control and minimize their trade credit risk exposure and integrate effective risk management governance across marketing, sales and the entire order-to-cash cycle. We make everyone smarter about credit risk and able to make more accurate business decisions.

Now, that intelligence is available directly to corporate customers seeking to protect their greatest asset: customer receivables.
