Credit Bureaus

Credit Bureaus generate revenue through the collection, maintenance, and provision of credit information on individuals and businesses. They sell credit reports to lenders, insurers, employers, and other entities authorized by consumers. The bureaus also offer credit monitoring services to consumers, identity theft protection services, and analytical services to businesses for assessing credit risk, developing credit scores, and supporting lending decisions.
