Baycorp Advantage (Veda Advantage)

  

Much like TransUnion or Equifax, Veda Advantage (formerly Baycorp Advantage) is a credit bureau available to the Aussies and the Kiwis.

Headquartered in Sydney and located primarily in Australia and New Zealand, the company performs market analytics and reports credit data. So when Mr. Dundee loses his arm to a crocodile and isn't able to work or show off his knife anymore, Veda will likely catch wind of his missed mortgage payments and slap a few derogatory items on his credit report.
