Empowering the Next Generation Through Financial Literacy 🎓💡

Last week, CPB had the privilege of participating in the Financial Literacy activation hosted by the South Africa at the University of Limpopo .
The initiative forms part of the FSCA’s drive to equip students at tertiary institutions with practical financial knowledge.
With over 500 students in attendance, the engagement created valuable conversations around responsible credit use, affordability, compliance, and informed financial decision-making.

As South Africa’s oldest locally owned credit bureau, CPB is committed to supporting financial inclusion and promoting responsible lending practices. Opportunities like these allow us to connect directly with young consumers and contribute meaningfully to building a financially informed generation.

Thank you to the FSCA for the opportunity to collaborate, and to all the students who visited our stand and engaged with us.

🎙️ CPB On Air This Morning!

This morning CPB joined Ikwekwezi FM to talk about something that affects all of us — credit information and responsible lending.

We unpacked:
✔️ What a credit bureau does
✔️ How consumers can access and understand their credit reports
✔️ How businesses use verified information to make responsible decisions
✔️ Why fraud prevention and identity verification matter
✔️ The importance of financial literacy and consumer protection

At CPB, we believe credit information should empower — not disadvantage.

For consumers, that means access to accurate information and support when something goes wrong.
For businesses, it means reliable data to reduce risk and operate responsibly.

Thank you to Ikwekwezi FM and their listeners for the opportunity to share how we are helping build a fair, transparent and accountable credit environment in South Africa.
