The B factories, Belle and BaBar, were successful in measuring the properties of the B mesons. But the B factories also produce a similar number of D mesons in the electron-positron collisions. The data sets recorded at the B factories allow us to study leptonic, semi-leptonic, and rare D decays. These decays are suppressed in the Standard Model. Therefore, the comparison of the observables extracted from these decays to the Standard Model predictions makes them a useful instrument in the search for new physics. In this contribution I will present an overview of the measurements performed at the B factories.
