How can I Import accounts and match them to a D&B DUNSŪ Number?

If your import A/R file does not contain a DUNS number for all accounts, you can choose to have these records automatically matched to a DUNS number via an overnight batch matching process. D&B will use its best practice matching methodology to return the best match available for the information provided. For best matches, you should provide company name, street address, city , state/province and /or Zip code along with Country (if providing non-U.S. records) in your import file fields.

The file will be processed and accounts will be loaded to DNBi and accounts requiring a match will be sent to our matching process. Matching for U.S. records may take up to 24 hours to process and up to 72 hours for Canadian records. Only U.S. and Canadian companies may be matched at this time.

You will see the status of the file processing on the Import Account home page. Once the status is Complete, you will be able to also view any unmatched records and manually match them by opening the account and selecting Match Account from within the Account electronic credit file.
