Dun & Bradstreet sales reps aggressively pitch $1,500+ 'CreditBuilder' subscriptions to small business owners, claiming it is the only way to establish an 80+ Paydex score.
A Paydex score of 80 simply means invoices are paid on time (Net-30), while 85-90 means invoices are paid 15-20 days early. Opening 4 auto-reporting Net-30 operational supply accounts and paying the invoices the same day they are issued forces an 85+ Paydex automatically.
Dun & Bradstreet requires a minimum of 3 to 4 reporting commercial trade experiences before generating an official Paydex score.
An 80 Paydex score is the institutional benchmark for low-risk prompt payment, unlocking higher credit limits and lower interest rates.
