Experian strengthens its position in data-led financial services

FGT

Experian is expanding its digital verification capability, gaining recognition in retail banking analytics and highlighting the strength of its internal technology leadership.

Experian UK and Ireland has joined forces with Konfir to strengthen its verification strategy, adding more depth in income and employment checks. Verification is moving closer to the centre of financial decision-making. Lenders, landlords and employers want faster and more reliable ways to confirm customer information, while also reducing fraud and operational friction.

Experian’s recognition for strategy and governance suggests that the business is not only offering data tools, but doing so in a way that fits the demands of regulated financial institutions. Banks want better analytics, but they also want systems that are well controlled and suited to environments where oversight matters. That makes governance a commercial issue as much as a technical one.

Experian is strengthening the parts of the business that help clients make decisions faster and with more confidence. The company remains a meaningful holding in Finsbury Growth & Income Trust, where it represents 10.1 per cent of the portfolio.

Finsbury Growth & Income Trust Plc (LON:FGT) invests in the shares of predominantly UK-listed companies, with the objective of achieving capital and income growth.
