Compliance & Products

Products & compliance

Information about the products you'll be marketing and our compliance standards.

Credico Independent Sales Agents market a variety of products for major retailers including store cards, loyalty programmes, and financial services products such as life insurance, dental insurance, cell phone insurance, and funeral cover. The specific products depend on the campaigns running at any given time.

FSP (Financial Services Provider) licences are required to market financial products in South Africa. Credico holds not one, but two FSP licences, allowing us to legally market products like life insurance, dental cover, and funeral plans. This gives peace of mind to both our clients and their customers that all transactions are conducted within regulatory requirements.

All interactions between Independent Sales Agents and customers are recorded and continuously reviewed by our Supervision department. Any transgressions are remediated by our Risk & Investigations department based on Compliant Standard Operating Procedures. This multi-layered approach ensures that every sale meets our high standards and regulatory requirements.

Credico partners with major retailers and service providers across South Africa. Our Independent Sales Agents represent these brands in-store, which is why professional appearance and product knowledge are so important.
