TransUnion is a global information and insights company that makes trust possible in modern commerce. We do this by providing an actionable data picture of consumers so they can be reliably represented in the marketplace. As a result, consumers and businesses can transact with confidence and achieve great things. We call this Information for Good® — it’s our purpose and what drives us every day.

Who We Are

As consumers and organisations increasingly transact with those they don’t know, a dependable basis for trust has never been in greater demand. That’s where TransUnion comes in.

As a leading credit reference agency (CRA), we’ve been serving the UK for more than 30 years. Over time, our acquisitions and technology investments have enabled us to develop innovative solutions that extend beyond our strong foundation in core credit to areas such as fraud protection, identity and risk management, consumer empowerment, automated decisioning and demographics.

Today, TransUnion’s vast expertise, top-notch solutions and services, and respected presence in over 30 countries across 5 continents has fostered a sound reputation as a trusted partner.

Information for Good® comes to life in three major ways:

Economic Opportunity

By helping organisations find customers who are the right fit, more consumers gain greater access to the goods and services they desire.

Great Experiences

When we help organisations deliver relevant, friction-right interactions and relevant offers, consumers enjoy experiences that are easy, safe, personalised and timely.

Personal Improvement

By providing data and educational resources, consumers can monitor their financial situations and manage their financial futures.
