When it comes to marketing for loans – auto loans, mortgage/home equity loans, credit card loans, and installment loans – no three facts have ever been truer:

• Marketing campaign success depends on relevance to the recipient.
• Relevance depends on the quality of demographic, behavioral, and financial data available about the recipient.
• Data quality depends on the data source.

With that, there’s no better data source than the three major credit bureaus.

Why Should You Use All 3 Major Credit Bureaus?

Together, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion maintain over 202 million credit files. 172 million of these are records that contain enough information to generate a credit score. The average credit file contains 13 credit obligations, 9 are likely to be credit cards and 4 are likely to be installment loans.

The bureaus track hundreds of data points for each individual – everything ranging from current loan balances to payment history. Information is continuously updated on every person with data coming from financial institutions, public records and property deeds, the US postal services — in all, there are over 10,000 data sources. On a monthly basis, these companies provide information on over 1.3 billion consumer credit accounts or other “trade lines.”

That’s a lot of data – and it’s as good as it gets.
