PIC Solutions Presents Best Practices to African Credit Grantors

Dubai, 17 May 2007 ¡V PIC Solutions partnered with Payment Systems Consulting to present two credit risk training seminars to credit grantors in Africa.

Competition and a rapidly changing global business environment have impacted the success of organisations operating in emerging markets. This has created a demand for specialised credit risk training, as more organisations develop their resources in order to become responsive to marketplace demands and customer needs.

Credit grantors in Africa will be invited to attend this series of practical seminars focused on credit scoring and risk management best practices. Designed to address credit risk trends and solutions impacting the credit industry, the seminars are ideal for consumer credit grantors exposed to an ever-changing market. Presented by leading experts in the consumer credit and risk management arena, these highly specialised seminars will be held in Cairo, Egypt:

„X Risk Management Best Practices Seminar: 19-21 June
„X Collections Management Best Practices Seminar: 25-27 June

Mohamed Belarj, General Manager at Payment Systems Consulting, states, ¡§We are committed to providing a specialised training solution to credit grantors in the region. Our previous training programme in Dubai received such a positive response from the Middle East community that we have once again partnered with PIC Solutions to present specialised credit risk and collections training. These seminars are based on international best practices and address the industry challenges impacting credit grantors. ¡§

Ian Read, General Manager of the Middle East region at PIC Solutions, adds,¡¨ Global trends, implementing best practices and the lack of skilled resources are just some of the challenges impacting organisations in emerging markets. These practical seminars aim to provide credit risk professionals with the tools to effectively maximise new opportunities and act proactively to business challenges. Our presenters, with a wealth of emerging market experience and knowledge, will share insights into industry best practices and provide an in-depth understanding of the factors that are critical to success.¡¨
