DEBT REGISTER - Allows viewing and publicizing debts, significantly increasing debt payments.

By adding a debt claim to the Infobank's debt register, the debtor receives a claim letter from Infobank. This motivates the debtor to pay the debt within 7 days to avoid its publication in Infobank and Äripäev, and the lowering of the company's credit rating.

Infobank's debt register aggregates debt information entered by collection agencies, Infobank clients, and Äripäev PRO clients. The register allows for the addition of B2B claims that have exceeded the payment deadline by more than 30 days and remain unpaid despite reminders.

Sending a debt notice to the register significantly increases the likelihood of invoice payment.

Why is it worth adding debts to Infobank's debt register?
  • There is no fee for adding a debt
  • The likelihood of invoice payment significantly improves
  • 40% of debtors pay the invoice within 7 days to avoid debt publication
  • The faster you deal with a problematic invoice, the higher the likelihood of payment
  • In the case of malicious debtors, adding the debt to the register warns other businesses
PAYMENT DISCIPLINE - Shows how many days before or after the payment deadline a company typically pays its invoices.
Read more Show less

In Infopank, you can see how many days before or after the due date the company typically pays its issued invoices. This is valuable information because the credit rating doesn't always tell the whole truth. The absence of debts and other negative factors doesn't guarantee good liquidity, but payment discipline can already signal approaching liquidity problems. Delayed payments almost always precede the emergence of debts. If you observe that a company pays invoices significantly after the due date on average, it is advisable to assign a smaller credit limit to that client. To discipline poor payers, consider the option of imposing penalties. Positive payment discipline – paying invoices on time – instills greater confidence in new clients.

CREDIT RATINGS - Provides clear guidelines on which company to give credit to and how much.

Infopank's credit rating is easy to rely on as it presents rating levels in a traffic light system: good, satisfactory, and poor.
  • Companies with a good credit rating have no warning issues, and you can extend credit to them up to the predetermined limit.
  • Companies with a satisfactory credit rating typically have 1-2 minor factors that prevent them having a good credit rating. You can still grant credit to them, but in a smaller amount. We also recommend reviewing the company's data yourself and re-evaluate the credit decision if necessary.
  • Companies with a poor credit rating are not recommended for credit granting. These companies have one or more serious creditworthiness-related issues, such as tax or private debts, missing reports, a person with a negative background on the board, etc.
MONITORING - Receive immediate notifications of a business client's payment default or, for example, a competitor's report submission.

Manually monitoring the creditworthiness of clients is time-consuming and costly, and significant events may go unnoticed. Infopank's monitoring provides you with the ability to promptly learn about all important events concerning your clients and business partners, such as changes in credit ratings, changes in ownership and management, submission of financial reports, emergence or resolution of payment remarks, and more. Monitoring is a valuable tool in enforcing your credit policy – you will be instantly informed of any changes in your client's creditworthiness, and recommendations for opening and closing credit, along with the suggested credit limit, are also provided.
