Dun & Bradstreet, Anthropic partner to strengthen AI-driven compliance

Dun & Bradstreet has announced a collaboration with Anthropic to bring Dun & Bradstreet risk data directly into Claude, in a move expected to reshape how enterprises manage onboarding and compliance.

The partnership will embed Dun & Bradstreet's Commercial Graph, a global database of business identities and risk indicators, into Claude, enabling organisations to automate due diligence workflows using AI capabilities.

Corporate onboarding has traditionally relied on manual verification and lengthy processing cycles. 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, 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 organisations strengthen governance and make decisions with greater clarity."

In Bangladesh, where financial inclusion is expanding rapidly alongside digital adoption, AI-driven compliance solutions are becoming increasingly critical. Integrations such as this are expected to accelerate trust in digital financial systems while reducing operational bottlenecks for Bangladeshi businesses navigating evolving compliance frameworks.

The system is anchored in the globally recognised 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.
