About Us
Credit Management — with passion
CreditDevice GmbH was founded in 2017 – as the result of over 30 years of collaboration and expertise in credit management. Our goal: a digital all-in-one package for credit management.
Our History
CreditDevice GmbH emerged in 2017 from a long-standing partnership between Hans Geluk (CreditDevice B.V., Netherlands) and Sven Buckenberger. The idea: to bundle the accumulated know-how from decades in European credit management in a modern, digital product.
In 2020, CreditDevice acquired the debt collection business of Hanse Debitoren Management, which had existed since 2011.
In 2021, we acquired GlobalCompanyCheck e.U. and thus expanded our offering to include worldwide online company reports from over 200 countries – directly integrated into our Credit Management Software.
Today we offer a complete solution: Credit Management Software, PolicyManager, international credit information and debt collection – all from one source.
Our Claim
"A digital all-in-one package for credit management."
