About Our Royal Charter

The Royal Charter

CICM was granted with a Royal Charter from the Queen which took effect on 1 January 2015. The grant of new charters is rare, typically reserved for distinguished professional organisations or reputable charitable institutions with a proven history of success and financial stability. In the context of professional organisations, these charters are granted when they fulfil a unique role in a specific field of activity that is not already represented by existing professional bodies. Therefore, gaining such an honourable accolade holds immense significance for us and the entire Credit Industry. The perpetual acknowledgment we receive as the official professional body for Credit Management is truly invaluable to our CICM Members.
