Energized to share @Equifax announced a definitive agreement to acquire Boa Vista Serviços – the second largest credit bureau in Brazil – to expand our reach into the large and fast growing Brazilian market. This #acquisition will mark an exciting new chapter for our customers that will bring powerful new insights to Brazilian lenders and service providers to help them better understand their customers and promote greater financial inclusion to meet the needs of the approximately 34 million unbanked or underbanked consumers in Brazil. Strategic, bolt-on acquisitions are core to our EFX2025 growth priorities and this is the 14th acquisition that Equifax has signed or completed in the past 24 months totaling $4.1 billion. We are on offense!#NewEFX
