NPECA U.S.

The National Petroleum Energy Credit Association, Inc was founded in 1935 by a distinguished group of Petroleum Industry Credit Executives at the Blackstone Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. It was incorporated as the Southwest Petroleum Credit Association, (SWPCA). In year 2001 the Payments (Retail) Risk Managers joined SWPCA for it's Annual Conference in Santa Fe, NM and the name of the association was changed to National Petroleum Energy Credit Association (NPECA) to reflect the now national coverage of the industry and membership. The combined efforts of both of these groups became a powerful resource in the development of programs, information and knowledge for risk assessment and treatment within each member's work related duties as well as a source of invaluable contacts throughout the year between conferences. Over the decades these men and women built a legacy from a loose fellowship that grew into the present active National Petroleum Energy Credit Association (NPECA) representing approximately 350 Treasury and Risk Management members working to protect approximately 110 companies from financial loss from credit risk to credit card loss at the pump in the Petroleum and Energy Industry throughout the United States. Each April an Annual Conference is held in the United States generally in warmer climates across the southern half of the U.S. during the month of April. During each Annual Conference we operate two distinct educational tracks; Credit Risk and Payments Risk. The Credit Risk track is attended by Directors of Credit, Credit Managers and Financial Credit Analysts. The Payments Risk track is attended by Credit Card Managers and Financial Analysts responsible for credit card fraud and risk at the pump (Convenience Stores and other retail outlets). For the benefit of all members, it is appropriate to state Antitrust conditions under which meetings are held. Contact Us!! contactus@npeca.org info@npeca.org
