GBG is a corporation that checks people out, provides geo-intelligence, and checks for fraud. GBG provides businesses with data and tools to confirm their clients' identities and locations.

Innovative geospatial, anti-fraud, and biometrics technologies are GBG's main area of expertise. 4.4 billion people throughout the world can have their identities checked by GBG.

In 1989, GBG was founded as GB Mailing Systems with the intention of capitalizing on the growing need for postal code and address databases. GB Mailing Systems was a company that offered not only software but also bureau services for things like postal codes, names, and addresses.

Company founder Trevor Burke rebranded the firm in the late 1990s as GB Information Management before selling it to rival firm Phonelink in July 1999. Located in Chester, United Kingdom, GB Information Management had an estimated 80 employees and a sales of 6.9 million GBP and an operating profit of 1 million GBP at the time of acquisition.
