IC System Receives the BBB’s 2021 Torch Award for Ethics

A Commitment to Ethics

The Better Business Bureau® of Minnesota and North Dakota has named IC System a winner of the 2021 Torch Award for Ethics.

IC System was founded in 1938 on the guiding principle of giving consumers ethical, honest service. Ever since, IC System has been committed to high ethical standards and consumer-friendly approach. Empathy, compassion, kindness, and understanding—these elements remain essential to how we collect debts, how we interact with our clients, how we train and develop our employees, and how we focus our office culture on people.

As a result of our efforts, IC System is a proud winner of the BBB’s 2021 Torch Award for Ethics.

Lisa Jemtrud, BBB Vice President of Community Relations, explains the significance of the Torch Award for Ethics: “This award is special because it’s bigger than a product, service or brand. It’s about displaying an ongoing commitment to ethical practices. BBB is proud to give this award as our highest honor.”
