What is a Mercantile Agent?

A mercantile agent is an authorised person who completes mercantile activities for a third party. These agents act as representatives for their respective third party and work on their behalf. Financial institutions, insurance providers, debt collectors and legal firms often use mercantile agents to act as middlemen. They are often required to re-establish connection and communication between two parties to resolve an outstanding conflict.

At Vanguard Mercantile, our mercantile agents have excellent communication skills and treat all parties with dignity. Our background in the industry, combined with years of experience in the communication sector, enables our agents to think on their feet and solve complex problems quickly and effectively. The needs of our clients are our first concern, and we will go above and beyond to ensure their requirements are met.
