I can imagine such an entity, at least in Germany: the Schufa, a credit rating service. It's impossible to open bank accounts, get credit or phone/internet contracts without all this going into their DB.

Better hope they secure their systems. Credit rating companies are, from their model of business, rotten to the core - and pose an extremely high risk these days where everything is computerized.

Experian are the UK equivalent - it's exactly the same, everything you do involving credit goes through them.
