Welcome to The FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN CREDIT MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATIONS

FECMA was established in 1986 on the initiative of the late Sir Roger Cork, one time Lord Mayor of London and President of the UK Institute of Credit Management as a not-for-profit organisation to promote best practice in credit management across Europe and beyond.

Membership of FECMA is made up of national credit management associations, who share the vision of promoting best practice by sharing their knowledge and expertise across national borders.  

FECMA aims to:

- exchange credit management knowledge, best practice and ethical standards between associations;

- share and promote research and pool the knowledge gained with each associations' own members;

- represent the credit management profession at a European level;

- provide support and guidance for members of all associations;

- support and collaborate with existing associations as appropriate and encourage the creation of credit management associations where none exist.
