Sacramento, CA, May 15, 2014 – DBA International announced an encapsulating new tagline today, “Setting the Standard for Receivables Management,” reflecting the association’s mission to uphold the highest and most comprehensive industry standards and recognition that our members are committed to protecting consumers and the industry. The new theme, which represents the vision of the DBA membership, will be integrated into all DBA materials and communications beginning this month.
“Setting the Standard for Receivables Management” evokes the forward-looking and optimistic momentum of DBA International’s members and our recently adopted certification program. Members felt strongly that the new tagline speak to the value of DBA International’s certification program which has set the standard for the industry. The new tagline invites members, consumers and regulators on a journey to define and achieve the highest standards by integrating best business practices with consumer protections and education.
“Setting the Standard for Receivables Management is aspirational and inclusive,” said Bryan Faliero, president of the DBA Board of Directors. “The phrase conveys a commitment to the receivables industry and acknowledges the pride our members feel.”
DBA’s highly regarded Certification Program demonstrates this commitment to uniform industry standards and established best practices. When a company or individual becomes certified, they are demonstrating a commitment to operating pursuant to the highest ethical standards, and abiding by the program’s standards of excellence.
The debt buying industry is an important segment of the nation’s credit-based economy. Credit is a part of our national fabric, from the loans that make receiving a college education, buying a car, or purchasing a home possible, to the revolving credit that makes smaller purchases convenient.
Debt buyers and the collection industry play an integral role within the complex credit based economy. Upholding the highest standards in receivables management protects consumers by ensuring they continue to have access to credit at affordable interest rates which would not otherwise exist if defaults on credit were uncollectible. These comprehensive standards also enhance consumer purchasing power by mitigating the losses that businesses would otherwise have to pass on in the form of higher prices.
