Experian and GBG have expanded their partnership to enhance fraud prevention and identity verification services for organisations across Australia and New Zealand.
The collaboration combines Experian’s data capabilities with GBG’s greenID platform to support real-time identity verification across banks, fintechs, telcos, utility providers, legal and AML-regulated sectors, as well as non-regulated businesses looking to reduce fraud risks.
The solution enables real-time identity checks using name, address, and date of birth matching, offering a faster and more secure verification process for customers without paperwork, delays or in-person visits.
The move comes amid growing concerns around identity-related fraud.
According to Experian’s 2024 Global Identity and Fraud Report, 71% of businesses in EMEA and APAC are struggling to keep pace with evolving fraud threats.
GBG data also showed that 68% of businesses in Australia and New Zealand reported a rise in fraud last year, with identity verification named the top challenge by over half of them.
The partnership builds on GBG’s previous work with illion, which Experian acquired in 2024, and marks one of the first customer-facing developments from the integration.
“This is a practical example of our commitment to improving the customer experience.
By partnering with GBG, we’re making proven, high-performing technology available to more of our clients—helping them onboard faster and stay one step ahead of fraud.”
said Mathew Demetriou, Managing Director, Software Solutions A/NZ of Experian.
“Fraud is evolving rapidly, businesses need powerful tools to manage their fraud risk and customer experience, and collaboration is essential to keep consumers and businesses protected.
This expanded partnership reflects the trust and alignment between GBG and Experian and demonstrates our shared commitment to deliver innovative, robust, compliant and user-friendly solutions to market.”
said Carol Chris, General Manager APAC at GBG.
