Equifax is launching a real-time, know your business, online business verification solution to help U.S. lenders and businesses make faster, more informed decisions before onboarding new accounts and/or vendors.
Equifax acquired Ansonia Credit Data, a provider of business credit, collections and accounts receivable data used by financial institutions and other creditors and businesses focused on the transportation and logistics industries.
The SEC charged a former CIO of a U.S. business unit of Equifax with insider trading in advance of the company’s announcement about a massive data breach that exposed the social security numbers of about 148 million U.S. customers.
