CCB - Czech Credit Bureau
Joint-venture established by CRIF, Trans Union, and Aspekt in 2000 – since 5/2005 fully owned by CRIF
CCB manages two main registers in the Czech Republic:
- Banking Credit Bureau (banks, building societies)
- Non-banking Credit Bureau (leasing, sales-finance, telecoms, utilities)
In January 2006 the Bureaux started sharing data among each other.
Databases contain both positive and negative information on applicants,
co-applicants and guarantors (individuals and companies).
Principle of data exchange reciprocity provides fair and transparent
access to information and protection against marketing use.
The system allows partial reciprocity (only negative data) from
telecommunications and utilities companies.
CCB is a provider of ancillary services to the financial market (scoring &
rating methodologies, systems for decisioning support and business
processes automation, business information services, etc.)

Why Credit Bureau?...a retrospect view to year 2000
CLASSIFICATION: Classified loans reach a staggering level of 28,99 %
CREDIT ACTIVITY: Long-term decline in loans provided by Czech banks - a fall of 3,2% in 2000
BANKRUPTCY: 15 banks have closed doors due to poor finances and failure to comply with the rules for prudent business
STRATEGY: Many banks' current strategy is aimed at existing corporate clients, devoting little or no attention to natural persons
MANAGEMENT: The role of management, which has predominantly focused on its own personal interests, has been revealed as very poor. Control mechanisms have also failed
INFORMATION GAP: The process for evaluating loan applications in terms of risk suffers from a lack of reliable information on clients
