Credit Strategy launches webinar series with TransUnion

The webinars follow a major research project, also carried out with TransUnion, which looked at the use of open banking and AI to create frictionless customer journeys.

The results of the research will be analysed and discussed during the webinars, which take place on August 1, car finance, and August 2, banking and alternative lending.

Senior representatives from TransUnion will be joined by Credit Strategy editors, Calum Fuller and Marcel Le Gouais, and a selection of relevant creditors. You can register for the car finance webinar here and the banking and alternative lending webinar here.

TransUnion was formerly credit reference agency Callcredit, but rebranded after being acquired by the global risk and information solutions provider in a £1bn deal in June.

TransUnion already has a presence in more than 30 countries and the rebrand of Callcredit has been part of a strategy to maximise the combined international presence of both brands.

Mike Gordon, chief executive of TransUnion, formerly Callcredit, said: “Together, TransUnion and Callcredit form an outstanding combination, with enhanced distribution capabilities, access to a broader range of products and technology.

“Becoming TransUnion is an important step in making it easier for companies to do business with us, both domestically and internationally, by providing access to greater expertise across global markets.”

David Neenan, international president at TransUnion, said: “Together we’re a great match; Callcredit’s values and solutions are completely aligned to TransUnion’s mission of using information for good, so bringing the brands together marks the next milestone on our integration journey.”
