Investopedia explains 'Credit Reference'

Credit references are generally used to determine the creditworthiness of a person or individual. Credit agencies are used most often for this purpose, although individual letters of reference are sometimes necessary.  For example, an overseas business wishing to establish its credentials in the United States may obtain a number of credit references from other businesses, banks, vendors and customers.
