Champlin, MN , October 30, 2026 -- Summit A*R, a nationwide provider of consumer and commercial accounts receivable management services, is proud to announce that it has been named one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Collections, a program presented by ACA International and Best Companies Group.

The national recognition reflects Summit A*R’s commitment to building a workplace where experienced collection professionals are respected, supported and equipped to succeed. That employee-centered culture is central to Summit’s P.H.D. Philosophy—Preserve Human Dignity—and to the professional, compassionate service the company provides to clients and consumers.

“This award belongs to our people. They bring professionalism, empathy and persistence to challenging conversations every day, while representing our clients the right way,” said Tim Turner, President and Founder of Summit A*R. “What makes this honor especially meaningful is that employee feedback is a major part of the process. We have always believed that when you treat your employees well, give them the right training and tools, and trust them to do excellent work, clients and consumers feel the difference.”

The Best Places to Work in Collections program was created to identify, recognize and honor outstanding employers in the collections industry. In 2026, 60 companies met the program’s strict standards for recognition.
