Debtfree DIGI July 2016

The final Award in this section is considered by some to be “the” Credit Provider Award namely
Banks. Over the last few years this has also been a closely contested award with all the major
banks in the running. This year, Standard Bank managed to take the honours as they were the
top rated bank across the peer review.
The last part of this section was dedicated to recognising the progress made by a credit provider
in regard to the way their debt review or collections department deals with debt counsellors and
consumers under debt review. A certificate of recognition was awarded to ABSA Bank and was
well received by the entire audience.
The Audience were sad to see the glitz of ‘Brad and Angelina’ go but next up were the PDA
categories Presenting the awards for Payment Distribution Agencies were the legal team of Robyn
and Quintin Zimmermann of Liddle & Associates. Putting away their serious court demeanour,
the two shone and kept the audience amused with comments like: “oh no I hope it is not another
one for them” and “why are these envelopes so small?”
