Experian, a leader in data and technology solutions, has announced the acquisition of KYC360.
The acquisition will strengthen Experian’s fraud detection and financial crime compliance offerings across the UK and Ireland.
The deal reflects Experian’s strategic focus on expanding its regulatory technology capabilities to support businesses in fighting financial crime. Although the financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed, the acquisition aims to enhance Experian’s fraud prevention infrastructure and deepen its expertise in Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) verification processes.
Experian, headquartered in Dublin, operates globally providing data analytics and technology solutions that help organisations manage credit risk, prevent fraud, and ensure regulatory compliance. KYC360, founded by Stephen Platt, delivers Customer Lifecycle Management (CLM) tools designed to automate and streamline compliance processes such as onboarding, screening, and continuous monitoring of clients.
KYC360’s technology will be integrated into Experian’s Ascend platform, with the new capabilities expected to be available from next year. The integration will enable Experian clients to improve compliance efficiency, accelerate onboarding processes, and lower operational costs while reinforcing defences against financial crime throughout the customer lifecycle.
Both companies view the partnership as a key milestone in advancing the use of technology to combat financial crime. Experian will leverage KYC360’s expertise to expand its client offering in the financial services sector, while KYC360 gains the resources and scale to accelerate innovation and reach a wider audience across the UK and Ireland.
Experian UK&I CEO Malin Holmberg said, “We’re excited to celebrate this major milestone as it reinforces our commitment to providing innovative solutions in the fight against financial crime. The addition of KYC360 significantly boosts our capabilities, allowing us to deliver even greater value to our clients and accelerate our growth. We are delighted to welcome the KYC360 team and look forward to achieving great things together.”
KYC360 founder and CEO Stephen Platt said, “We are thrilled to be joining the Experian group. This partnership provides a tremendous opportunity to drive innovation in the fight against financial crime, helping to protect even more clients and their customers. Together, we are committed to ensuring that the customer experience remains seamless, while setting new standards for security and compliance in the industry.”
