We’re excited to share that Experian has been honored with Datos Insights’ 2025 Impact Award for Best First-Party Fraud Innovation, earning Silver Medalist recognition for our First-Party Fraud Scores. This award isn’t just about technology, it’s about protecting people, businesses, and the trust that connects them.
Rethinking How We Detect Fraud
Fraud today doesn’t always look like the stereotypes we imagine. Sometimes it comes from individuals who apply for credit with no intention of paying it back. That’s where Experian’s First-Party Fraud Scores make a difference.
Unlike traditional credit tools that mostly look at repayment history, our models dig deeper into intent. By combining credit and non-credit data with advanced machine learning, lenders can spot risks in real time, stopping fraudulent applications before they turn into financial losses.
As Jim Mortensen of Datos Insights explains, “By analyzing patterns across multiple institutions and industries, the solution can identify fraud schemes that would otherwise go undetected.” That broader visibility is key to staying ahead of fast-evolving threats.
Why This Matters
At Experian, innovation is never just about technology. It’s about trust. It’s about helping people, keeping businesses strong, and protecting the integrity of the financial system we all rely on.
We’re honored by this recognition from Datos Insights, but even more motivated to keep raising the bar in fraud prevention for our clients, for consumers, and for the future of financial confidence.
