In all, we can have too many data elements on any given company, which helps you get a more complete picture of a business. We are also the only business information provider that collects financial statements on both publicly and privately held companies.

Before we enter any information into our database, it must first pass a number of quality checks. In fact, there are currently over 20 validations in our customized data entry system alone. We then supplement our checks by mainframe data cleansing processes, like our Duplicate Report Protection System and Address Standardization.

Once the information is validated, it's entered into our database, the only database of business information in Syria. It's then made available to businesses around the globe. The data can be used as follow: to check the credit rating of over 20 thousand companies, to compile highly-targeted lists of prospective customers, to track competitors' sales, and much more.

You can view your records, and also, any potential customer or company that may wish to do business you, can view your records by purchasing a copy of your credit profile.

The Syria Credit Bureau (SCB) carefully regulates how your credit profile reports can be used and by whom. You have the right to obtain your own reports at a reasonable price, and before customers or other companies can access your credit information, they must offer proof that they will be using the data for no other purpose than that which is allowed by law.

Your credit profile report contains only the basic information listed below: (identifying information, credit information, public record information, and inquiries)

Public record information includes any information that is contained in any state and county court records, like:

Inquiries indicate to other credit grantors that you have applied for new credit that could result in additional debt. Potential lenders may view multiple recent inquiries on your credit report as a sign that you are overextending yourself.

No. Your credit profile report does not contain any information regarding your race, religious preference, medical history, personal lifestyle, personal background, political preference or criminal records.

Any positive information in your credit profile will remain in your credit profile report indefinitely; however, if no new or updated information is reported on an existing item in your credit profile for seven years, it will be removed. (for example: a closed account will be removed from your credit profile seven years after it has been reported closed by the credit grantor).

Most negative information remains in your credit profile for up to 7 years. Bankruptcies will remain in your credit profile for up to 10 years. Other public record information can remain for up to 7 years. Most inquiries will stay in your credit profile for up to two years.

The evaluation is based on a number of credit factors determined by the Syria Credit Bureau’s (SCB) sophisticated analytical tools.
