Expand Your View of Borrowers

Why pull a standard tri-merge credit report when you can get more with the Mortgage Merged Credit Report from Equifax? The Mortgage Merged Credit Report delivers expanded insight lenders need to confidently and securely grow their business and serve a wider audience of borrowers.  

As a merged credit report, it provides traditional mortgage credit data from all three NCRAs. However, it also offers expanded, panoramic visibility across 24 months of trended data, along with differentiated, highly structured telco, pay tv and utilities attributes available at no additional cost.

Lenders can zoom out to see how borrowers manage their credit over time. Likewise, they can understand how borrowers pay their monthly "everyday bills" for utilities, cell phones, and cable—accounts that aren't typically included in a standard credit report. 

Both types of data, trended credit and alternative data, are highly predictive of future account performance, supporting more accurate and informed mortgage origination and mortgage underwriting.

Power Faster, Easier Mortgage Underwriting with Comprehensive Borrower Views 

As our flagship tri-merge credit report, the Mortgage Merged Credit Report consolidates data from all three NCRAs—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—into one standardized document. Because not all creditors report to every bureau, a merged report ensures that significant debts, late payments, or public records aren't missed.

Our report is unique because it also includes trended credit data that offers up to 24 months of past payment trends, and can also be delivered with telco, pay tv and utilities attributes. 

These differentiated insights are provided with our merged credit report at no additional cost to lenders, offering more comprehensive borrower views that can make mortgage underwriting faster and easier.

Better Predict Risk with Tri-Merge Mortgage Credit Report Insights

Understanding a borrower's "right now" credit standing along with their payment behaviors over an extended period of time is the new gold standard for risk prediction. Fold in visibility into how they pay their monthly fixed bills like utilities, cable, and cell phones, and the ability to more accurately predict risk skyrockets. 

That's what you get with our Merged Mortgage Credit Report. 

Risk prediction becomes your new competitive edge, regardless of changing economic conditions and ever-evolving mortgage guidelines. No matter what, you gain clearer direction for your borrowers and your mortgage business. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a standard, single-bureau credit inquiry, the Mortgage Merged Credit Report consolidates data from all three national credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—into one standardized document. Because not all creditors report to every bureau, a merged report ensures that significant debts, late payments, or public records aren't missed.

Equifax enhanced its flagship merged credit report to include up to 24 months of historical payment behavior. While a traditional report shows a "snapshot" of a borrower’s current balance, trended data shows whether the borrower is a "revolver" (carrying a balance) or a "transactor" (paying off balances monthly).

Millions of creditworthy individuals remain invisible to standard credit models simply because they lack traditional credit. Alternative data—such as monthly utility, pay TV, and telecommunications payments—fills this gap by giving lenders reliable visibility into millions of overlooked borrowers, enabling lenders to confidently serve more borrowers.
