What is a PAYDEX score?

PAYDEX is Dun & Bradstreet's business credit score (0-100) that specifically measures payment promptness to vendors and suppliers. A score of 80 means you pay exactly on time; 100 means you pay 30+ days early. Most lenders want to see a PAYDEX of 75 or higher. To get a PAYDEX score, your business needs a DUNS number and at least three vendors reporting to D&B.
