Creditworthy began providing the world's first Internet based Industry Credit Group Program in 1997. The program combines the Internet with the power of a database to provide its members with Alerts, Trade Experience, Meetings, Credit Reports, Customer Reports and much more - all on a real time basis. Information can be uploaded into the database or entered manually by the members. Groups can maintain a private database or they can info-share with other groups to increase the amount of information available to its members.
