Company News
Palenca, a Mexican income verification platform for financial institutions, has raised $4 million in a Series A round led by Experian, with participation from Foundation Capital, Gilgamesh Ventures and Dhow Ventures. The company addresses a critical gap in Mexico's financial inclusion: the lack of reliable income data prevents credit expansion to new segments. Without verifiable income information, financial institutions must either limit their reach or assume greater risk. Palenca's platform validates income from various sources, including informal employment, to integrate them into credit and risk decisions. The funding will develop new data products, expand income source validation and strengthen predictive models using artificial intelligence. The company processed nearly 5 million verifications in 2025 and projects reaching 20 million this year, enabling banks to extend credit to previously excluded populations.
Experian has enhanced its Connect API platform to offer VantageScore 4.0 for rental screening, enabling property managers, landlords and screening providers to use the modern credit scoring model when evaluating prospective renters. Zillow is amongst the platforms now using VantageScore 4.0 through the platform. The enhancement follows the Federal Housing Finance Agency's recent approval of VantageScore 4.0 for mortgage decisions, creating greater consistency across the housing journey. VantageScore 4.0 combines trended credit data with machine learning and can score approximately 33 million consumers who may have been unscoreable under older models. The model uses trended credit data, rental payment history and alternative data to reflect consumers' financial behaviours across 24 months, offering greater accuracy and more inclusive scoring for renters with thin credit files.
FullThrottle Technologies has partnered with Experian Automotive to integrate Experian's in-market automotive audiences into the fullthrottle.ai self-service platform. The collaboration enables auto marketers to combine first-party data with third-party audience intelligence in a single environment. Through the integration, advertisers can access Experian's curated audiences—including lifestyle, purchase intent and behavioural segments—directly within fullthrottle.ai's demand-side platform. Marketers can combine these with verified first-party data and build campaigns in a closed-loop environment connecting audience insights to performance measurement. Experian's consumer marketing data covers insights on over 250 million US individuals. The partnership aims to deliver smarter targeting and stronger attribution whilst maintaining privacy standards for automotive dealers and marketers.
AutoUnify, a connectivity toolkit enabling AI agents to interface with automotive retailers, has announced a strategic investment from Experian. The partnership combines AutoUnify's connectivity platform with Experian's fraud prevention and identity verification technology to create secure, real-time automotive transactions. The collaboration aims to establish infrastructure for AI-driven automotive commerce, allowing AI systems to manage end-to-end customer journeys. AutoUnify provides the connectivity layer for communication across automotive platforms, whilst Experian contributes decisioning technology and fraud expertise. Based in Santa Monica, California, AutoUnify is backed by Porsche, UP Ventures and Experian Ventures. The funding will support product innovation, expand integrations and accelerate development of AI-driven automotive applications, including tools for vehicle shopping and service scheduling.
Experian has acquired KYC360 in the UK and Ireland to enhance its fraud and financial crime compliance capabilities. This acquisition will strengthen Experian's ability to verify and update customer and business information, crucial for preventing financial crime.
