This is how duntrade works

How does the DunTrade® program work?

Each month, we collect payment information from more than 15,000 organizations worldwide through an anonymized process. This data enriches our Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud with up-to-date payment insights from millions of organizations worldwide.

Strictly confidential exchange of data

The exchange is anonymous, strictly confidential and it complies with GDPR and AVG guidelines. As a DunTrade Partner, you receive free access to our comparative payment analytics that help you make better credit and collection decisions.

Benefits

The exclusive benefits for DunTrade partners

As a DunTrade partner, you benefit from unique insights into payment behavior, risk trends and benchmarks that help you mitigate risk, optimize cash flow and better inform strategic decisions.

Benchmark new customers

Mitigate risk with detailed insight into the payment behavior of recent customers and suppliers. As a DunTrade partner, you track how a customer pays from the start and build up a valuable payment history. This allows you to keep a grip on payment patterns and see through any changes.

Also discover how existing customers pay your company compared to other suppliers. The insights into the payment behavior of companies within the same business group or industry give you a strong negotiating position when setting payment terms.

Proactive action on payment risks

As a DunTrade partner, you get insight into the current situation and the trend of payment behavior over time. This allows you to spot changes with customers well before they become noticeable in your own cash flow.

The data allows you to identify impending bankruptcies up to 24 months in advance. With this strategic edge, you can start the conversation early, adjust payment terms or take other risk mitigation measures.

Accurate risk score

The PAYDEX® score becomes even more reliable by combining payment experiences from your client portfolio with those of other DunTrade partners. This patented payment index from Dun & Bradstreet provides a more accurate picture of potential payment risks.

Credit managers make informed decisions about credit limits, payment terms and accepting new business based on the PAYDEX® score. The immediate result: fewer defaults, lower credit losses and healthier cash flow for your organization.

Absolutely. The DunTrade® program guarantees complete anonymity. The identity of information providers is never released. And other participants can only see payment trends, but never actual payment details or company information.

Data processing is fully automated and secure. You can share your payment information by providing a monthly aging balance or list of open items, along with a customer list for identification. After initial setup, this requires minimal effort on your part. Contact us for a detailed explanation of the process.

The DunTrade® program focuses on payment behavior of existing customers, not prospects. For assessing prospects, we recommend D&B Financial Analytics. Vanaf het moment dat een bedrijf klant wordt, kun je als DunTrade-partner volgen hoe een klant betaalt en hoe snel ze jullie betalen in vergelijking met andere leveranciers. Zo bouw je een waardevolle betaalhistorie op, heb je inzicht in betalingspatronen en doorzie je eventuele veranderingen in betaalgedrag.
