Equifax Acquires Market-Leading Wealth & Asset Data Business

New data will add a greater breadth of intelligence and insight for Equifax customers

LONDON, March 3, 2011 - Equifax, a leading provider of consumer credit and business risk
management services, has acquired Workload Financial Business Consultants
Limited, the UK's leading provider of strategic intelligence to wealth and
investment financial product providers.

Formed in 1988, Workload operates a shared investment product data
exchange with information provided by over 90 of the UK's leading financial
services companies. Workload provides these organisations with
business-critical market intelligence in order to drive sales, product design
and distribution strategies.

At a time when financial services, telecommunications and retail
companies are seeking to gain market advantage through effective customer
management, this acquisition allows Equifax to provide the broadest possible
insight into consumer behaviours and market opportunities.

"I am tremendously excited about the addition of Workload to the Equifax
business," explained Shawn Holtzclaw, Managing Director, Equifax. "It adds
real value to the Equifax proposition. Adding their extensive wealth and
asset data, including information on ISAs, bonds, unit trusts, pensions and
mortgages to our own data, means we can give consumer-facing businesses in a
wide range of markets a greater overall insight into the financial status and
capabilities of customers and prospects. This will enable us to deliver
improved customer acquisition, retention and growth for our clients."

The acquisition of Workload is part of Equifax's global strategy to
continue to develop its market-leading wealth intelligence business. Equifax
Inc acquired U.S. wealth data specialist, IXI, at the end of 2009 and
Workload extends this expertise.

"This partnership gives us a fantastic opportunity to build and improve
on the services which we currently provide to our increasingly sophisticated
client base," said Mark Hamill, Managing Director, Workload. "Working with
the Equifax team we will be able to help companies improve all aspects of
their business growth strategies."

"Workload has built a respected and successful business with a blue chip
client base that mirrors Equifax's own client profile," concluded Holtzclaw.
"I am hugely confident that the combination of our two organisations - the
data and the analytical expertise - will create a compelling and innovative
proposition that, to date hasn't been seen in the UK market."
