How we’ve got to where we are
To understand our history, you have to look past the organization known today as Experian.
Back to when our parent companies gained traction in lines of business that would take decades, and in some cases a century, to cross. As is the case with many documented bloodlines, it is sometimes the most unlikely of pairings that combine to produce a great champion.
Likewise, the story of Experian can be traced back as far as 1900, across three continents, to three primary organizations. Over the subsequent century, a series of events, mergers, splits, and reorganizations would uniquely position the combination of Europe’s leading information services company, CCN; the largest credit bureau in the U.S., TRW; and Brazil’s first credit agency, Serasa to form Experian—the world's leading information services company.
“Experian
is a remarkable success story about a business built on innovation, global enterprise,
and above all, the endeavors and hard work of some amazing people.”
