At Experian, we often say our people are our biggest superpower – and today, I’m thrilled to share that this belief has been recognised once again. Experian has been named one of the 2025 World’s Best Workplaces™ by Fortune and Great Place to Work® for the second year in a row.
This achievement reflects the culture we’ve built together – one that’s welcoming, inclusive, and rooted belonging. It’s a celebration of every colleague who brings their whole self to work, who lifts others up, and who powers opportunities for our clients, consumers, and communities.
We’ve made it our mission to create a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and empowered. That’s why we’re proud to have earned top scores on the Corporate Equality Index and the Disability Equality Index, and to be recognised with the Outie Award for Workplace Excellence and Belonging.
These recognitions matter. But what matters most is how our people experience life at Experian. Whether it’s collaborating, innovating, or growing through world-class development of products, services and contributing to our communities, our culture is designed to help everyone thrive.
We’ve also made bold commitments to career development. Initiatives like Global Careers Week, the AI-driven performance coach Nadia, and the NextGen Forum – a global leadership development programme for emerging talent from across our regions – give our people the resources to take charge of their growth and build a “One Experian” mindset.
Being named one of the World’s Best Workplaces is a moment to celebrate but also a reminder to keep aiming higher. The world of work is evolving fast, and so are we. From embracing AI to enhancing our digital workplace experience, we’ll continue to push forward and listen to our people every step of the way.

We are delighted to have announced our proposed acquisition of a 60% stake in Arvato Financial Solutions Risk Management division. Bringing together Experian’s global data expertise with AFS Risk Management’s market and sector experience will create a uniquely innovative organisation that can offer the best of both companies to the Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH) region. For us in Experian EMEA this is an incredibly exciting moment. Germany is Europe’s economic powerhouse and there is a huge opportunity to bring our Decisioning and Analytics expertise and products like Ascend Analytics on Demand to benefit existing and new clients of both organisations. Not only that, we have the privilege to work with a well-respected, established organisation like AFS Risk Management, with its deep focus on customer service, high-quality products, and solutions tailored for key industries like e-commerce, telecoms and insurance; and with the Bertelsman Group, one of Europe’s leading media groups. Following completion, our intention is to make a new, joint entity, made up of the best of Experian and AFS Risk Management, delivering broad coverage and a strong product and innovation roadmap across the DACH region. Clients of both organisations will quickly be able to benefit from the strengths each partner brings – as we deliver the best new technologies into the region, enabling them to make better, faster decisions, and ultimately delivering greater access to finance for people across the region. The acquisition now enters the EU’s standard competition review process.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt lives across the globe, fraudsters continue to take advantage of the vulnerable situation. The opportunistic nature of fraudsters means that times of crisis and pandemics open up additional breeding grounds for fraud and identity theft. Our latest CrossCore® release has never been more relevant for businesses than right now. Confidently recognizing consumers and safeguarding digital transactions is always a difficult balance – but now more critical than ever. With CrossCore, businesses can limit fraud losses and reduce unnecessary customer friction, at a time when safe and convenient access to financial services is essential. This new version of CrossCore, our integrated digital identity and fraud risk platform, combines risk-based authentication, identity proofing, and fraud detection into a single, cloud-based platform. This means that businesses have the capabilities and technology they need to rapidly respond to an ever-changing environment. With flexible decisioning orchestration, advanced analytics, and pre-integrated identity and fraud services, businesses can make real-time risk decisions throughout the customer lifecycle. And they can do all of this through simple self-service. We know there’s no silver bullet when it comes to fighting fraud, which is why we continue to develop our curated partner ecosystem. This gives companies access to all the technology and capabilities they need, in one place – whether it be Experian’s, our partners’, or their own. We combine this with advanced analytics and our own rich data assets plus a built-in strategy design and enhanced workflow giving fraud and compliance teams more control to adjust strategies based on evolving threats. This helps improve efficiency and reduce operational costs. Updates to the new version include the ability for clients to submit dynamic API request payloads, apply progressive risk assessments, apply parallel logic, enable self-service workflow configurations, and provide an online business intelligence (BI) module to view transactional volume reports. These updates will give CrossCore users a simpler way to manage complex orchestration; faster more scalable performance; and key performance indicators in near real-time, all while enabling a personalized and seamless experience for their true customers. More than 250 clients worldwide use CrossCore today, including capabilities from our third-party partners.

Today kicks off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The Experian Asian American Employee Resource Group (ERG) is proud to recognize this special month by sharing how Experian is supporting a national campaign to address the adversity facing some of our most at-risk communities right now. Experian has joined ten non-profits and more than 80 companies from across industries and sectors nationally to support the #AscendTogether action agenda. It includes promoting inclusion, raising awareness of vulnerable groups, denouncing bias, supporting frontline healthcare workers, COVID-19 victims and families, and donating funds and resources to support vulnerable populations and impacted businesses. Led by Pan-Asian leadership nonprofit Ascend, this effort is designed to bring about unity at a time when fear about COVID-19 has led to rise of intolerance and racist acts, particularly against the Asian and Asian-American community. Experian is proud to step up as a leader in our industry to participate in this effort. As executive co-sponsors of Experian’s Asian American ERG, we hope you will join us in our efforts to be a champion for diverse communities, especially during this time. You can learn more about #AscendTogether here. Written by: Dacy Yee, Chief Customer Officer ECS Direct-to-Consumer and Jimmy Cheung, Senior Vice President of Technology and Engineering
