In today’s fast-moving financial world, building smarter models is only part of the journey. Managing them—safely, efficiently, and in alignment with regulatory guidelines can potentially add another layer of complexity. That’s why we are proud to introduce: Experian Assistant for Model Risk Management. Fully integrated with our industry-leading Ascend Platform™ and powered by ValidMind, this first-of-its-kind solution helps financial institutions streamline the different stages of the model governance lifecycle—from documentation to model validation. Manual processes, disconnected systems, and slow approval cycles create friction and risk. Our new solution tackles those head-on. Financial institutions can now automate documentation, use and customize pre-built templates, and centralize model governance—all while aligning with regulatory guidelines like SR 11-7 (US) and SS1/23 (UK). And with built-in workflows, teams stay aligned, faster. It’s all about accelerating innovation without sacrificing oversight. As AI becomes more central to decision-making, strong model governance is no longer optional—it’s essential. Experian Assistant for Model Risk Management gives institutions the tools they need to meet the moment: fast, clear, and transparent. Ready to modernize your model risk management?

As we mark the 10th anniversary of Experian’s U.S. Identity & Fraud Report, the fraud landscape is more complex and fast moving than ever. As fraud accelerates, businesses must not only defend against today’s threats but also prepare for what’s next. We’re committed to helping businesses stay ahead of these challenges. Our latest report offers a comprehensive look at how businesses and consumers are navigating this shifting landscape. Key findings include: Companies are using AI to combat fraud: over a third of companies say they are using AI, including generative AI, to fight fraud. And 72% of business leaders expect AI-generated fraud and deepfakes to be major challenges in 2026. Consumers are skeptical of AI: less than 1 in 4 report interacting with AI-driven tools like chatbots, and just 18% completely trust these tools. Fraud losses are rising: nearly 60% of companies reported an increase in their fraud losses year-over-year, with identity theft, transactional payment fraud, account takeover, peer-to-peer payment scams and first-party fraud identified as the top events experienced last year.    Digital anxiety persists: 57% of consumers are still concerned about doing things online, and their top fears include identity theft, stolen credit card information, online privacy, fake/phishing emails, messages or phone scams, and false information. There’s still a trust gap: while 85% of businesses believe their fraud controls align with consumer expectations, less than half of people are highly trusting of companies to address their concerns online. These findings underscore the need for businesses to reassess their fraud prevention strategies to close gaps, adapt to emerging threats, and align with consumer expectations. As a global leader in identity verification and fraud prevention, we harness the power of data, advanced analytics, and innovative technology to help our clients reduce risk, protect their customers and foster trust.  👉 Explore Experian’s fraud prevention solutions here. 👉 Read the full 2025 Identity & Fraud Report here.

With great pride, we are pleased to share that Disability:IN has recognized Experian as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion in three global regions. The company earned Top Scores in the Disability Index® in the United States for the fourth consecutive year; the United Kingdom for the second year; and, for the first time, in Brazil. The Disability Index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside their organization and to assess performance across industry sectors. Across the globe, one in six people – or 16% of the population – identify as part of the disability community. At some point in our lives, we or someone we know will be part of this community. Experian’s Barrier Free Workplace Initiative facilitates an inclusive culture across our regions. As an example, our new office in Brazil features tactile and warning flooring, Braille identification, and equipment designed to accommodate all. In India, we've built in accessibility with wheelchair-friendly design, lifts, Braille signage, and quiet zones to support neurodiverse colleagues. The Experian Support Hub empowers disabled people and those with access needs in the United Kingdom to share their requirements with lots of organisations in one simple process, helping them get the support they need. In the U.S., our teammates participated in the Disability:IN annual conference, learning and sharing best practices for inclusion and accessibility. Being recognized as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion represents our ongoing commitment to accessibility, and promoting spaces where each person feels valued and has opportunities to grow and thrive.
