How Equifax is Helping Businesses Confidently Navigate Uncertain Times
As the COVID-19 situation rapidly evolves, it continues to change the economic landscape throughout the world. It’s challenging to fully ascertain the impact at any given point, and we’ve all seen the effect it’s had on employment and hiring, market volatility, and credit. The best assessments of where we are, at any moment in time, come from doing an analysis of the real time data.
“We fundamentally believe that smarter insights drive smarter actions,” said Rebecca Kritzman, Vice President and Risk Marketing Leader for Equifax. “Equifax is in a unique situation to help businesses make sense of these rapidly changing times.”
The recently launched Response Solution Suites helps organizations support consumers and make more informed and confident decisions by combining core Equifax data with advanced analytics, alternative data and trended insights.
