Business Status Alerts


Are your customers credit worthy?


Business Status Alerts is the service that lets you keep track of your business contacts. Through regular credit reports, you could reduce your exposure to bad debt that could put your company under strain.


It’s important to know how creditworthy your business customers and suppliers are so you can avoid the risk of late payment or bad debt.

RBS have joined forces with Equifax, one of the UK’s leading credit reference agencies, to provide a cost effective credit checking and alert service to protect your business.

Business Status Alerts will allow you to:

  • Access credit checks, reports and information on existing and potential business customers
  • Be alerted to key changes that can affect a customer’s credit risk
  • Protect your supply chain
  • Understand your own credit status
