All agencies on Qualco’s panel have been certified for their achievement and quality in meeting specified guidelines for the transfer of customer data. With four levels of certification, DCAs must achieve a Blue Certification of Conformance to become an approved panel member. The level of certification denotes the quality of and regularity that data loads are sent and meet Qualco’s specified requirements. Its clients are rest assured that when they receive data from a certified panel member that it is representative of the activities undertaken on their behalf.

I am therefore pleased to make the Qualco Manual and its file transfer process widely available to the industry and we look forward to its continual development against the backdrop of an ever-changing regulatory environment.”
