We work with clients in a wide range of industries, including: insurance, financial services, banking, education, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, wholesale/retail and a variety of service businesses.

Our Approach
ACBS is passionate about delivering the ultimate “total customer service experience” in the industry. We believe that requires a combination of state-of-the-art technology and committed, knowledgeable professionals.

ACBS offers a high degree of customization and flexibility. For example, packages can be tailored to include the services that are important to your organization. So there is no need to order products a la carte.

Services can be accessed the way you choose. For example, if ordering online is not your preference, you can order by fax or telephone.

Technology

We’ve invested heavily in building ACBS’ technology infrastructure. We offer a single point of access for a wide range of products and services. You can log on once and conduct multiple transactions. All you need to take advantage of our technology is a PC, a standard Web browser and Internet access. With many of our products, you can place an order, check status, retrieve reports and review billing statements at the touch of a button.

Our systems are: 1) user-friendly; 2) highly reliable; and 3) secure.

People

ACBS has a strong management team and a staff that blends the wisdom of years of experience with the fresh thinking of professionals with diverse backgrounds and education.

While we see technology as a tool, we believe that people are the ultimate key to quality service. Unlike many companies that offer online services, we maintain a full-time staff of highly experienced customer service representatives. Our typical CSR has an average of 10 years' experience.

What really differentiates our people is their attitude. They take tremendous pride in their work and are true champions when it comes to customer service. Hiding behind e-mail or voice mail is simply not our style. Our people are always available to answer questions, resolve issues and process any requests you feel warrant special handling.

The Company’s History

ACBS was established in 1916 as the Allentown Credit Exchange. The Company was formed to protect businesses and to help deserving consumers obtain credit. The firm’s business was gathering and recording credit information and disseminating that information in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

In 1946 the Company became known as the Credit Bureau of Allentown. When the organization began expanding its geographical marketing area in 1974, the name was changed to Associated Credit Bureau.

Over the years the Company’s business evolved from a credit bureau into an organization delivering a wide range of credit-related and information products to help businesses make better decisions.

Based on these changes and its mission to deliver “Insight, Information and Solutions” to businesses, the Company changed its name to ACBS in 2002.
