With a third of the global adult population lacking access to
basic financial services, it’s vital that firms such as Experian
recognise their responsibility to help. Add to this the threat of
inflation and increased economic pressures for households across
the globe, Experian’s mission to help people improve their
financial health is more important now than ever.
In the Improving Financial Health Report, Experian demonstrates
how it can improve the financial health of millions of people
around the world, through a combination of its core products,
social innovation and community investments.
Over 134 million consumers use Experian’s free consumer
platform, giving them access to online services such as
CreditExpert in the UK, Credit Tracker in the USA and Serasa Free
Score in Brazil which can allow them to manage and improve their
credit score. This is in addition to Experian Go – a consumer
service launched this year which promotes financial inclusion and
has helped over ‘credit invisible’ consumers to build their credit
profiles.
Since establishing its United for Financial Health programme two
years ago, Experian and its NGO partners have connected with 87
million people. They are well on track to reach the target of 100
million by 2024.
Experian’s investments into social innovation products,
supporting employee-led ideas designed to positively impact
society, have now reached 82 million people since 2013, and
Experian employees volunteered almost 25,000 hours of their time in
their local communities in the last 12 months.
More information about Experian’s Environmental, Social and
Governance goals can be found in its Annual Report.
Also published today is Experian’s second-ever global Diversity
Equity and Inclusion Report, a deep-dive into its approach to
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
