Trade Exchange Program    

In order to help provide Canadian businesses with reliable and accurate credit information, D&B has developed a unique Trade Exchange Program.

Since 1977, thousands of companies across Canada have shared and benefitted from this program. Globally, over 9,000 companies supply D&B with their accounts receivable data. These companies are known as D&B’s Trade Partners. Through D&B’s DUNSRight™ data quality assurance program we validate and process an annual flow of over 639 million payment experiences and maintain tens of millions of unique experiences in our database—all to support your future credit decisions.
