About GBG
GBG is the leading expert in global identity and location. In an increasingly digital world, GBG helps businesses grow by giving them intelligence to make the best decisions about their customers, when it matters most.
Every second, our global data, agile technology, and expert teams power over 20,000 of the world's best-known organizations to reach and trust their customers.
Why you should be @GBG
Reach
The precision of location data is critical to businesses that need to know exactly where their customers are so they can reduce failed deliveries, share great customer experiences, and remove unnecessary costs. We provide the unique insight to know locations as well as the people who live there, because we understand global addresses better than anyone else.
This means our customers have confidence that their products and services will arrive in time and to the right location. In the race to serve global customers, we exist to help every business in the world reach every customer in the world.
Trust
When a digital business grows, most customers are genuine. However, many are fraudsters who manipulate identities to gain illegitimate access. We give our customers unique insight to decide which are trustworthy and which are fraudulent because we understand identity better than anyone else.
This means businesses can confidently onboard good customers, reward great customers, and reject fraudsters. In the fight against identity fraud, trust is key, so the more you can know and the earlier you know it, the better decisions you can make.
