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. _
