Is there a 4th national credit bureau called Innovis?
Besides the three national credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and Trans Union, there is also another important credit agency in the US that maintains a significant database of consumer credit information called Innovis, which is a subsidiary of CBC Companies, aka CBCInnovis. Founded in 1970 by the Associate Credit Bureaus (ACB), Innovis was originally called ACB Services. Nineteen years later, Consumers Credit Associates (CCA) acquired ACB Services, and then in 1997, First Data Corporation purchased the company and gave it its current name. Finally, in 1999, the Credit Bureau of Columbus (CBC) purchased Innovis, Inc.
