Applications

Credit Monitoring

Provide consumers with a credit report and notifications to help them identify key changes in their credit history and uncover suspicious activity that may be signs of identity theft. In today’s virtual world, credit monitoring alerts are a powerful tool to protect against identity theft, enabling quick action against potentially fraudulent activity, and provide overall confidence to potentially impacted consumers.

Identity Remediation and Education

Arming consumers with information about protecting their identities can be an important step in preventing identity theft and fraud from occurring or reoccurring. Consumers can receive preventative credit education and identity resolution information, including steps to take if they think they’ve become victims of identity theft or fraud. These added benefits enhance your customers’ overall experience.
