Experian Acquires Behavioral Analytics Pioneer NeuroID

Experian^® — the global data and technology company — announced today that it has acquired NeuroID, an industry leader in behavioral analytics. NeuroID’s modern and frictionless capabilities amplify Experian’s fraud risk suite by providing a new layer of insight into digital behavioral signals and analytics observed for both new and returning users throughout the customer lifecycle, including account openings, logins and transactions.

NeuroID’s behavioral analytics solutions are available now through CrossCore^® on the Experian Ascend Technology Platform™ as a key fraud-detection capability. Experian’s identity verification and fraud prevention solutions helped clients avoid an estimated $15 billion in fraud losses globally last year. With NeuroID seamlessly integrated into Experian, clients can use one service provider to proactively monitor and analyze a user’s real-time digital behavior (for example, how they navigate a form and enter information).

The emergence of generative AI-driven fraud has motivated companies across industries from financial services to healthcare and e-commerce to seek new types of fraud-detection technology, such as behavioral analytics, within their originations and account management fraud strategies. Insights from behavioral analytics help mitigate fraud in real time and prevent identity theft, account takeover, bot attacks, next-generation bot attacks and fraud rings — empowering businesses to provide a seamless customer experience.

“Our acquisition of NeuroID highlights our commitment to provide our clients with world-class data, analytics and insights to prevent fraud. Together with NeuroID, we’re excited to build new blended offerings that detect risk but also empower businesses to confidently navigate the online landscape and trust in their transactions,” said Robert Boxberger, President of Experian’s North American Identity & Fraud business. “In today’s highly competitive and digital-first world, the use of behavioral analytics is now vital for innovating for the future of fighting fraud.”

“We are in a new era of fraud driven by AI. Companies are under immense pressure to rapidly innovate and advance their approach to fighting fraud. NeuroID unlocks a new view into a user’s riskiness based on behavioral interactions,” said Jack Alton, CEO at NeuroID. “This view arms companies with a proactive, first line of defense to detect sophisticated fraud rings and bot attacks. By joining forces with Experian, we’re looking forward to helping companies confidently navigate this new era with solutions that enable more secure and frictionless experiences.”
