Veda claims to be the largest company of it kind in ANZ, but apart from B2B listings no independent 3rd party sources have been found despite the efforts of at least two editors. The ACCC report is reliable regarding the claim, but is only a listing. The same for its previous existence as Baycorp Advantage. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG.

*Delete - Not enough reliable coverage to justify inclusion. The only reason it was not an A7 was because the first sentence effectively said "Hey! This thing is important because it's important!". I was considering PROD'ing it but now that this has launched that can no longer be done. Barts1a / Talk to me / Help me improve 11:08, 7 September 2012 (UTC) [reply]

  • The idea that "the largest credit reference agency in Australia and New Zealand" is not a claim of importance is, quite frankly, ridiculous. Anyone applying for a mortgage, bank loan or credit card in those countries will have the decision made on the basis of data held by this company. How is that not important?
