TransUnion

The business model combines proprietary data ownership and aggregation with software delivery. TransUnion creates value by converting large consumer, identity, credit and behavioural datasets into enterprise workflows for risk scoring, fraud prevention, audience targeting, measurement and enrichment. Customers integrate these products into decisioning, marketing and compliance processes, which increases switching costs and supports recurring contracts plus transaction-based usage.
