History

Dun & Bradstreet traces its history back to July 20, 1841, with the formation of The Mercantile Agency in New York City by Lewis Tappan. The company was formed to create a network of correspondents who would provide reliable, objective credit information. In 1933, The Mercantile Agency merged with competitor R.G. Dun & Company to form today's Dun & Bradstreet. The DUNS Number system was invented in 1962. In 2010, D&B spun off assets that merged with Credibility Solutions to form Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp, an independent company focussed on credit and credibility for businesses.
