Credit bureau operations were started in Barbados in November of 1993, where CCBL is better known as Credi-Check. Prior to 1990 there were no formally recognized credit bureaus in the Caribbean. And consumers in Barbados were denied the right to investigate their credit file and dispute any incorrect entries.
Caribbean Credit Bureau saw the need to address this and developed a plan for its operations within the region. Along with credit reporting, we provide training and consultation services throughout the English-speaking Caribbean.
We also offer value-added credit management services and are advocates for the spread of financial literacy.
