History

  

In 1931 some credit men met and discussed the Credit problem of their companies. They envisioned a need to form an organization.

April 19, 1932 they formally formed the association as a non-stock non-profit institution under the name of “Association of Credit Men, Inc.”

In 1967 the Association formally changed its name to Credit Management Association of the Philippines (CMAP) Inc.

At present CMAP has over 350 member companies from the banking, financing, services, trading, manufacturing, and insurance sectors of the Philippine business.

Also, affiliated with CMAP are regional credit associations from Visayas and Mindanao.
