The strategy of Creditinfo will remain unchanged, with the company continuing to focus on smaller developing markets, providing total risk management and database solutions.  The company will be investing in various new markets in the near future and continues to search for partners in countries where the services of Creditinfo are needed.

SCHUFA takes over an advanced technology platform, developed by Creditinfo Solutions s.r.o., from the joint venture and aims at strengthening its own international strategy by continuing to build up a pan-European credit information network, including the strongest companies in each country.  SCHUFA has already created a comprehensive network with the major consumer credit information bureaus in Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and Sweden. Furthermore, SCHUFA will continue to co-operate with Creditinfo in various markets.  Extending this network to other European markets, whilst enhancing its technology and product offerings will drive SCHUFA’s international focus.

The legal entity Creditinfo SCHUFA GmbH will become part of Creditinfo under the name Creditinfo International.

Creditinfo Group, established in 1997, has been among the fastest growing companies in its field.
