We know how fast your company pays its invoices. Do you know how fast your clients pay theirs?

In order to provide you with up to the minute accurate credit information, D&B has developed the Dun-Trade Program, which bridges the gap understanding a company's financial standing whilst waiting for annually filed public data, such as balance sheets and protested bills. The Dun-Trade Program collects payment information from companies on a monthly basis as we recognise that this data is critical in assessing a company’s likelihood of succeeding or failing.

The Dun-Trade Program works quite simply. Each month participants to the program transmit their sales ledger data to D&B. The transfer mechanism is fully automated, and simply designed so not to burden participants with complex processes. All data is then fed into the D&B database and matched with existing records.

Globally, over 9000 companies supply D&B with their accounts receivable data. These companies are referred to as Trade Partners. We validate and process an annual flow of over 400 million payment experiences and maintain over 60 million unique experiences on our database for supporting your credit decisions.

No other data provider has such a depth and breath of payment data available. The data collected through this program is unique to D&B and is used, among other things, to calculate the D&B Payment Score, which is available in all levels of our D&B Business Information Reports.
