Experian is proud to announce, for the second year in a row, we have been named to the global Fintech Leaders list, placing in the top 20 for 2021. The list and adjoining report are released annually by international research organization, the Center for Financial Professionals (CeFPro). In addition to placing 19th on the list, Experian also placed in the Credit Risk category. The Center for Financial Professionals’ Fintech Leaders 2021 Report is one of the most rigorous programs that rank fintech industry leaders. The report’s coverage includes evaluating top fintech companies, solution providers, and vendors. The results are usually based on gathered surveys from end-users, practitioners, and subject matter experts. CeFPro’s report comes from the group’s market analysis and original research, which are backed by an advisory board that consists of 60 international industry professionals. Andreas Simou, CeFPro’s Managing Director, shared that the CeFPro board and voting members recognized Experian within the fintech survey as leaders for their data, decisioning and analytical capabilities. Simou said, "Experian cements its place on the Fintech Leaders List, and has once again been very highly regarded, as a leading player within credit risk, most notably for their subject-matter expertise and excelling within the areas of data management and modelling,” he said. “We are honored to once again be recognized as a Fintech Leader by CeFPro and the global Fintech marketplace,” said Jon Bailey, Vice President for Fintech at Experian. “We are committed to supporting the Fintech community and we will continue to invest and innovate to help our clients solve problems, create opportunities, and promote financial inclusion,” Bailey said.
