Building the future of credit referencing
Infact was founded in 2022 with the aim of changing the credit information market to achieve better outcomes for consumers through collaboration with Open Data partners and traditional credit information providers.
Our team share over 25+ years experience building innovative credit information products at companies like Runpath, Experian and Credit Kudos. We are proud to have the backing of some of the UK's leading early-stage investors, as well as prominent fintech founders.
INVESTORS
PROBLEM
Traditional bureau data is as good as it’s going to get
Information used in bureau based credit information and affordability decisions is by default out-of-date. As a result of this, consumers and lenders are missing a key component in enabling access to responsible and suitable credit.
NEED FOR INNOVATION
Opportunity to better serve consumers
The FCA’s Credit Information Market Study highlights significant differences and misrepresentations in credit information available through the existing bureaus, pointing to material inefficiencies in today’s consumer credit market. This is leaving an increasingly large number of consumers underserved and potentially financially vulnerable.
OUR GOAL
Credit information for the next-generation of lending
We are building a progressive Challenger CRA (pending authorisation) to support the FCA’s areas of innovation from the Credit Information Market Study to address completeness, timeliness and improve outcomes for consumers and credit providers.
COMPLIMENTARY BUT COMPETITIVE
Together we can achieve the best outcomes
Competition is healthy. We want to encourage competition in the Credit Information market through innovation while building strong working partnerships with traditional CRAs and Open Banking providers.
