New Credit Checking Service In Quickbooks Software for SMBs

Intuit UK has teamed up with Experian to provide its credit reporting service so that small and medium enterprises that use its QuickBooks software can check the financial status of customers, suppliers and prospects at a click of a mouse. Developed in association with InfoBridge Software, the new service gives instant access to the UK company credit rating information from Experian.

Available within QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Accountant or QuickBooks Premier software, the integrated software links to Experian’s database of credit information reports on UK limited and non-limited companies to provide a credit score and limit – in one simple and seamless process. This can be used to help set safe trading limits for each customer or supplier, helping to minimise exposure to risk and bad debt.

Richard Bee, UK managing director, Intuit said, “Our customers were telling us that in today’s market, assessing the creditworthiness of new and even existing clients is fundamental to protect their businesses. They want an easy-to-use solution that gives them greater reassurance and can work within QuickBooks. Our new service developed in association with Experian and InfoBridge empowers small businesses with instant access to gain exactly the knowledge that they need to make more profitable business decisions.”
