What does KSV1870 offer?
Membership pays off. That is not just our opinion, but also that of our members:
Cornelia Diesenreiter, Unverschwendet GmbH
It is important to us to have such a traditional company in the background. This is for security, in case there is a problem with debt recovery at some point.
(Translated quote)
Gerhard Aigner, SANAG Sanierung GmbH
We make use of the service on an ongoing basis. We gather information about our potential customers before entering into a business relationship. Credit standing is a very important source of information for us. (Translated quote)
Ingo Steinbach, Steinhof Musikproduktion GmbH
The KSV has helped me several times. In two cases, the transfer was definitely made immediately after the KSV got involved. (Translated quote)
Manuela Schneidergruber, Seibersdorfer Bettfedern- und Daunenfabrik GmbH
We are members of KSV because it is a well-established and reliable organisation, and we can rely on the information it provides. (Translated quote)
