Protect Your Company

Advancing the professionalism of the moving industry by fostering an environment of security and protection is a top priority for IAM. This commitment begins with the IAM Code of Ethics, a foundational requirement for all IAM members, ensuring a shared standard of integrity and accountability.
IAM has developed a suite of tools and programs to support its members, empowering them to request assistance and share critical information to make informed business decisions. These include:
  • The Issue Resolution System (IIRS): A streamlined platform for members to report trade issues, enabling quick and efficient conflict resolution.
  • The Receivable Protection Program (RPP): A financial safeguard that helps protect members from losses due to unpaid invoices.
  • IAM Alerts & Alleged Debtor List: A resource providing real-time, actionable insights to support strategic decision making with a global perspective.

By creating multiple layers of protection, IAM ensures its members operate in a secure, professional, and informed environment. These initiatives underscore IAM's dedication to upholding the integrity of the industry while enabling members to build trust, resolve challenges, and protect their financial and reputational interests. Together, these efforts strengthen the global moving community and reinforce IAM’s mission to champion the moving industry. 

Benefits of the RPP
The Receivable Protection Program (RPP) is an initiative by the International Association of Movers (IAM) that helps safeguard members from financial losses due to unpaid invoices. Since 2015, it has returned over $6.5 million in value to its members. Available to Core, Premier, and Value members, the RPP helps resolve payment disputes and protects businesses from insolvent partners through resources like the Alleged Debtor List. The program is praised for its effectiveness in mitigating risks in the moving industry.

Member Testimonial

The RPP is a significant step in safeguarding all IAM agents around the world in terms of payment. The membership of IAM is one large family but, unfortunately, especially with a world recession, companies do go out of business, and this is where the RPP safeguard steps in and helps resolve this situation.
We have been RPP members since its initiation into IAM, and the help and support provided in trying to resolve payment disputes has been substantial and extremely successful. I must pay particular credit to Brian Limperopulos from IAM for his positive and unequivocal support in relation to resolving issues through RPP.
The only thing I do not fully understand is why the vast majority of members are not signing up to use the scheme! It is a fantastic safeguard. It is here for the benefit of all IAM members and I would strongly recommend that we all start using it. Well done to IAM on the RPP initiative.
