About ABCD

The ABCD Motor Credit Association (ABCD) provides the credit and financial executives of motor vehicle suppliers with insight on customers in light vehicle OE, heavy duty OE, and Off Highway segments with the tools and information required to enable better customer decisions, improvements to dispute resolution, reeducations in bad debt, and improved cash flow. This is accomplished through periodical meetings and a consistent stream of updates and insights. This group meets six times per year in easily accessible cities and the meetings are available via conference call as well. The afternoon prior to the ABCD meeting, the group holds an educational session where timely topics are discussed and/or a guest speaker presents on a subject chosen by the group.
