INDIANAPOLIS - Premiere Credit of North America, an Indianapolis-based, national debt collection agency, has launched a new website that features the recent construction of a 3,800 gallon shark tank in their main lobby. Flash animation of sharks circling the home page (www.premierecredit.com) is just a preview for web watchers to see the actual tank and shark feedings through a "shark cam."
Todd Wolfe and David Hoeft co-founded the company in 1999. Premiere Credit has quickly grown a large national client base that includes numerous state government agencies and the U.S. Department of Education. The Indiana Department of Revenue recently awarded Premiere Credit a contract to collect delinquent property taxes on behalf of the state.
"We chose to invest in building a shark tank and make it a major theme for our website, but not for obvious reasons," said Todd Wolfe, President & COO, referencing the stereotypical “loan shark” image of debt collectors.
"Sharks are constantly moving forward, resistant to infections and cancers, and have the ability to heal quickly from severe injuries - qualities that Premiere Credit of North America nurtures as part of its corporate culture. We have found that the shark tank is highly inspiring to our collections staff and our clients. It’s a symbol of what we stand for and where we are going," he added.
Premiere Credit was recently named as one of Inc. 500’s "Fastest Growing Private Companies in America," placing 55 out of 500 companies nationwide and first among seven Indiana companies on the list.
