When two companies exchange information about an individual’s credit history and habits or a corporation’s credit history in order to evaluate their worth and analysis, this process is known as the credit interchange. There are many credit information companies around the world that keep the credit information of credit card and credit account holders and exchange it with other companies and departments upon request. On the contrary, the company that issued your credit card or credit account also keeps your credit history and details of each transaction on your card or account and exchanges it with other companies when required.
