Experian, a global information services company known for its data and analytics solutions, has teamed up with Mastercard, a multinational financial services corporation renowned for its payment technologies, to strengthen fraud prevention capabilities.
The partnership aims to integrate Mastercard’s identity verification and fraud prevention technology directly into the Experian Ascend Platform™, enhancing security and improving the identity verification process for clients worldwide.
Experian provides credit data, analytics, and decisioning tools to help businesses manage credit risk, prevent fraud, and automate decision-making. Its Ascend Platform combines Experian’s data and decisioning capabilities with advanced strategy design, monitoring, and reporting.
Mastercard’s Identity Insights solution focuses on verifying and connecting critical identity elements, such as names, emails, and phone numbers, to confirm the authenticity of individuals. This technology complements Experian’s fraud detection tools by helping clients tackle synthetic identity and application fraud, while minimising friction for genuine customers.
Through this collaboration, more than 1,800 global clients across financial services, automotive, health, and digital marketing will benefit from streamlined, secure identity verification. The solution is available in multiple markets, including North America and the UK & Ireland.
Experian and Mastercard’s expanded collaboration builds on their existing relationship, which has previously covered open banking-powered solutions. Now, Mastercard’s identity technologies can be accessed via the Ascend Platform across different geographies.
“When acquiring new customers, our clients want a frictionless process where both ID and fraud, as well as credit risk, can be assessed as part of a single request that streamlines and speeds the customer experience,” Experian Software Solutions executive vice president of identity and fraud Greg Wright said. “Success is measured by helping our clients grow their business while making fast, efficient decisions. By enabling clients with advanced analytics solutions that bring credit, identity, and fraud data into the Ascend Platform, we help them achieve their strategic goals while also driving greater financial inclusion for consumers.”
“For many years, Mastercard and Experian have worked together to empower consumers to take financial control,” Mastercard executive vice president of identity solutions Dennis Gamiello said. “By integrating Mastercard’s Identity Insights with Experian’s platform insights, we’re partnering to streamline the entire customer journey from digital onboarding to fast-tracking secure transactions and reducing fraud.”
“We believe signing up for electricity should be easy, so we need a system that addresses identity, fraud, and credit risk without adding friction or hassle for our customers,” OhmConnect Energy general manager Laura Persson said. “Experian and Mastercard’s automated service accomplishes this, so we can make it easy for our customers to enroll and start their energy-saving journey.”
