Do I qualify?
If your business has more than 300 active accounts or is a current DNBi or PPP customer you can qualify to participate in the D&B Trade Exchange Program.
How does it work?
- There is no fee or cost to participate...ever
- Your customer data is secure at all times
- Your company's name is confidential in reporting
Simply download your accounts receivable portfolio to the electronic format of your choice and we'll do the rest. D&B can accept most file formats and provides secure technologies for file transfers.

Accounts receivable data can have a significant impact on D&B reports making it imperative that all potential trade suppliers be evaluated in a consistent manner. This qualification process is proprietary and will not be shared externally. D&B reserves the right to deny participation in the D&B trade reporting program.

Why Become a Partner?
Here's a testimonial from a long-time D&B Trade Exchange partner: We have always supported the expansion and free flow of quality information within the credit community to help manage and monitor risk. I would encourage other companies, as we do, to share their accounts receivable data with D&B. As a result of on-going file submissions, we have noticed significant improvements in the following key areas:- DSO's reduced by 1 day
- Revenue past due was reduced by 3%
- And our number of accounts past due was reduced by 28%
What impact can this have on your bottom line?
