Summary = Lima, Peru - January, 28, 2005 – Creditosperu.com
S.A.C. in addition to its usual credit and mortgage brokerage services,
now offers free credit reporting using the Central National Risk
Database provided by the Banking Regulatory Body of Peru (SBS).
This is made available to the public for free and through the site:
www.bancosperu.com
Press Release
Body = "We are very pleased about this new and free service
to the public. We believe that publishing the information contained
in the Central National Risk Database is another valuable contribution
that we are providing to the community "indicates Flavio Graf,
manager of CreditosPeru.com S.A.C. "This information is very
useful for those who wish to find out the credit positions that
the SBS handles, either about themselves or about third parties.
Being a third world country, Peru is very price sensitive, therefore,
it is very important to provide
public information within the reach of everyone. Internet is the
best tool to drive costs down thus making this free option a viable
one. We are basically trying to level the game for small economic
agents who find traditional credit reporting too expensive to use.”
The applications
that can be derived from this information are countless. "This
service will be heavily used by people who rent property or provide
goods at credit, and that is only one of so many practical applications
that the new system enables"
adds Graf and continues, "even though we have made good progress
during the last five years in transparency and information access
matters, Peru still struggles to beat what Walter Albán -Peru’s
Ombudsman- refers to as the ‘secrecy culture’ in the
public service; in fact it has been very difficult for us to convince
the SBS to release this data, actually, the SBS has recently moved
back, trying to limit our
access rights.”
CreditosPeru.com
S.A.C. has become a place with thousands daily visitors who look
for the best credit conditions. At the moment Creditosperu.com provides
financing from three financial institutions, while trying to incorporate
two additional participants. “The concept is simple: we have
adapted Doug Lebda’s LendingTree.com business model to suit
our local market; in fact, we are having conversations with
other South American parties to extend our modified business model
to other countries too. We celebrated our 1st financial new year
with credit application
number 2,500; this demonstrates us that we are offering a service
that the community appreciates and recommends." concludes Graf.
