Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - Dun & Bradstreet recently announced a collaboration with Anthropic to bring D&B risk data directly into Claude, in a move expected to reshape how enterprises handle onboarding and compliance. Through Dun & Bradstreet South Asia, Middle East & Africa (SAME), this capability will be made available to customers across the regions.
The partnership will embed Dun & Bradstreet’s Commercial Graph™, a global database of business identities and risk indicators, into Claude, enabling organizations to automate due diligence workflows using AI capabilities.
With this integration, financial institutions and other regulated entities will be able to automate Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) processes within a single interface.
Commenting on the collaboration, Nauman Lakhani, Group Director Products at Dun & Bradstreet South Asia Middle East Africa, said, “The value of this collaboration lies in connecting AI with trusted business context, making it usable in real-world decision environments where accuracy and confidence matter. Embedding verified data directly into workflows can help organizations strengthen governance and make decisions with greater clarity.”
The system is anchored in the globally recognized D-U-N-S® Number, which enables consistent identification of businesses across markets. The collaboration is seen as part of a wider move towards intelligence-led workflows in enterprise operations.
