CRIF Gulf's (D&B) Trade Payment Program helps risk management to improve collections and productivity while supporting the quality of information available to help other business decision-makers reduce credit risk.

WHY USE PAYMENT DATA?

  • One of the most crucial criteria for determining when and if a company is likely to fail is their past payment performance.
  • 90% of bankrupt companies exhibited delayed, fluctuating or below industry average payment behaviours.
  • CRIF Gulf (D&B) collect trade experiences, combine them with information from a wealth of data sources to complete the true image of a business’s financial stability – past, present and future.
  • Trade is considered to be the most important predictive indicator in our DUNS Right Data Quality Process – allowing us to be confident that every credit decision you make is based on all the relevant data available

No other company has a database with the depth and breadth of global payment data that CRIF possesses. This payment data is a critical component of our ratings and scores to predict payment behaviour and risk of failure Without this information you would not be warned of the signals that precede a company failing. This could mean a decrease in cash flow and eventually an increase in bad debt for your company without this payment data.

 

Participation and access to reports is free of charge

 

Your customer data is secure at all times

 

Your company's name is kept confidential at all reporting levels

SO WHAT COULD YOU DO TO AVOID THIS?

Join our Trade Partner Program !

On a monthly basis each Trade Partner provides their ledger to CRIF Gulf (D&B) – this information is then fed into the CRIF Gulf (D&B) Database so that we can see the latest payment habits of their customers. In return for this data the Trade Partner receives free of charge data that focuses on reducing DSO and risk. This service is FREE of charge based on an exchange of data. All trade partners supply payment data on a monthly basis to CRIF Gulf (D&B) in return for access to their own secure web area, monitoring the payment behaviours of their customer base.
