Start by Assessing Customers Currently in Your Credit Portfolio

Build Credit Scorecards

Meaningful and reliable credit risk scores, ratings, and analytic models are crucial to making data-driven decisions. The more easily these tools can be embedded in your platforms, the more quickly they can help provide powerful intelligence to better inform credit decisioning.

How Can Credit Scorecards Help?

Standardize Review Processes

Managing credit risk and achieving growth in a fragmented and regulated business environment is no easy task. Dun & Bradstreet supports unified risk management across multiple geographies, systems, and resources. We enable even complex organizations to standardize credit risk reviews through a centralized solution to help ensure credit policy compliance.

Simplify Credit Portfolio Management

Take a step back from individual account management and get a big-picture view of overall performance to better monitor shifts that may impact your business. When you understand your risk landscape across industries, markets, and other segments, you can more strategically and effectively manage your portfolio. We help you automate processes for onboarding, invoicing, monitoring, and more so you can efficiently support a growing customer base and still swiftly identify consequential changes.
