Who We Are

As consumers and organizations increasingly transact with those they don’t know, a reliable basis for trust has never been in greater demand — and in such short supply. That’s where TransUnion comes in.

TransUnion has been in the business of enabling trust for over 50 years as a credit reporting agency. Decades of stewarding and analyzing data have given us a holistic understanding of consumer identity. Additionally, substantial investments in new data sources and technology have fueled expansion into new areas like fraud, marketing and customer-driven analytics.

Today, TransUnion is a global information and insights company that makes trust possible in global commerce. We do this through a Tru™ picture of each person: an actionable view of each consumer based on a robust set of online, offline, public and proprietary information, stewarded with care.

As a result, consumers and organizations can transact with confidence and achieve great things. We call this Information for Good^® — it’s our purpose and what drives us every day.
