What Is It And How Does It Work?

ProfitGuard’s Virtual Credit Groups provide credit professionals in the metals and manufacturing industry with the business credit intelligence they need to safely extend credit and help maximize profitability through increased sales, improved cashflow, all while minimizing bad debts and write-offs.

PG’s Virtual Credit Network is an online platform for exchanging trade payment data within a professional, legal, anti-trust compliant environment. You can join one of PG’s existing industry networks below or suggest a new one.

Members can connect with other members to quickly learn about slowing or delinquent accounts, collection efforts, prompt paying customers, bankruptcy events, public company financials, change to Payment Quality (PQI) or other valuable trade information.

We accept trade data in any format, including what you may already provide to other credit bureaus.
