When CIBI Information first appeared as the Credit Information Exchange System in 1982, it was a division attached to the Department of Loans and Credit of the Central Bank of the Philippines. It was later privatized and officially incorporated in 1997.

The non-stock, not-for-profit organization is the first and only credit reporting agency in the Philippines. CIBI Information has earned a reputation as a reliable business in its more than 30 years of operation.

CIBI Information currently employs between 200-500 employees and earns annual revenue of $27.9 million.

The company, jointly created by Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX), began operating as an independent entity in 1990. 

Since then, it has expanded its importance, both within the country and with its clients. CIBI Information hosted the first Philippine Credit Forum (2018).
