Debtor credit
Creditsafe
Business credit reports, recommended limits and monitoring alerts on the debtor who owes the invoice.
Everything below came from that company’s own website or from dated trade coverage, and the sources are at the foot of the page. Where they publish nothing, this page says so rather than filling the gap with an estimate.
Two claims, kept apart
Debtor creditThe relationship
A fact about two companies. Ours to assert.
FactorFox works with Creditsafe. Confirmed 28 August 2026. It requires no code to be true and it implies none.
The connection
A fact about software. Engineering’s to evidence.
Read from the integration register at build time. This page cannot say anything else.
What they do
What Creditsafe actually sells.
Creditsafe sells business credit reports and company data by subscription and by API. A customer looks up a company and receives a credit score, a recommended credit limit, trade payment history and financials, and can register that company for monitoring alerts.
It also sells anti money laundering and know your customer screening, which is the other place a funding business needs an outside opinion.
Founded in Oslo in 1997, with a United States operation established in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 2012. Their own site states 27 offices across 14 countries and over 1000 staff, which makes them the most established company in this group by a wide margin.
Why it matters
Why a funding business should care.
Written for the lender rather than for the borrower, which is the audience every page on this site is written for.
This addresses the single most central question in factoring. When you buy a receivable you are taking credit risk on the debtor, not on the client who sold it to you. A debtor score and a recommended limit are the core underwriting input, and everything downstream of the purchase decision assumes somebody formed a view on that obligor.
Monitoring matters as much as the initial check. A debtor that deteriorates three months after you funded is a portfolio problem, not an underwriting one, and it only surfaces if something is watching.
Their Bank Match product verifies bank account details for companies and individuals. On a freight book that is a fraud control rather than an administrative convenience, because payment redirection is a live attack in this industry.
What would move
What would flow between the two systems, and in which direction.
This is the question a technology partnership starts with, because it determines whether there is anything worth building. It describes the exchange, not a shipped feature.
Outbound from the platform: a debtor name, identifier or registration number.
Inbound: score, recommended limit, financials and trade payment behaviour, plus registration of that debtor for change alerts.
Creditsafe publishes a full public API catalogue covering company search, credit reports, global monitoring, know your customer screening and bank match. Of every company on this page, they and Ficoso have the strongest published developer documentation.
Where this stands in the product
The connection, stated the way the register states it
Recorded in the integration register as contract required. The rail is built and it answers not configured until you hold your own contract and keys with Creditsafe. That is the honest description and it is deliberately not called available.
How every status word is definedWhat we could not establish
Published deliberately, rather than quietly left out
Ownership and parent entity are not disclosed on the pages we read. Their database figures, such as the number of business reports held, are their own marketing claims rather than audited numbers, so we do not repeat them.
A partner page that has an answer for everything has usually stopped checking. Several companies in this group publish no founding year and no headcount at all, and that is a finding about the industry rather than a gap in the research.

Ask us what connects today, and we will answer with the register open.
Not with a logo strip. If the answer is that nothing connects to a vendor you depend on, you will hear that in the first conversation rather than in week five of an implementation.
