How does the DunTrade program work?
The DunTrade® Program operates very efficiently. Every month, Program Participants make all their relevant payment information available to Dun & Bradstreet. This is done fully automatically and in a simple way. This ensures that participants are not involved in complex processes. This data is then loaded into the Dun & Bradstreet database and added to existing records. More than 14,000 companies worldwide deliver their payment experiences to Dun & Bradstreet. These companies are called Trade Partners.
