Consumer Profile Bureau (Pty) Ltd (CPB) was established in 1981 with the primary purpose of providing credit risk information on consumers and businesses. By supplying credit grantors with pertinent, focused information, credit grantors are able to make informed decisions to minimise risk to themselves and to their business. Credit grantors use the information supplied by CPB to assist them with the Affordability Assessment as required from them in terms of the National Credit Act.

Being the second oldest credit bureau in the country, and wholly owned by South Africans, we are proud of the fact that we are 100% pure South African. In fact, so committed are we to the future growth of South Africa, that everything from our products, databases and switchboard system is sourced, designed and made in South Africa!

With a solid industry background and a wealth of knowledge, CPB was also instrumental in the formulation of the National Credit Act, attending parliamentary sessions to give input and submit recommendations prior to the formation of the NCA. Over the years, CPB has formed strategic alliances with many risk information agencies.

Consumer Profile Bureau (Pty) Ltd is a registered Credit Bureau in terms of the National Credit Act No 34 of 2005, with registration Number NCRCB 2.
