CRIF High Mark Credit Bureau

CRIF High Mark is India's first full service credit information bureau which comprehensively covers credit information for all borrower segments – MSME and Commercial borrowers, Retail consumers and Microfinance borrowers – across the vast expanses (whether urban or rural areas)  of our country. With one of the largest databases of individuals and businesses from over 4000 financial institutions, CRIF High Mark provides credit information services for and supports millions of lending decisions every month.

High Mark was founded by Dr. Anil Pandya as a start-up credit bureau in 2007 with a vision of setting up India’s most comprehensive and most inclusive credit bureau. High Mark commenced its bureau operations in March 2011, immediately following the receipt of Certificate of Registration (CoR) from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a Credit Information Bureau in India in 2010.
