Ourclients in the region have benefited from Experian's expertise in applicationprocessing, fraud prevention and customer management solutions, and bycombining these with the products, local knowledge and reputation ofKrediidiinfo, we can offer our clients in Estonia the broadest range ofsolutions.
"The acquisition will further benefit financial institutions and telecomscompanies in the region, many of whom are already our clients elsewhere inthe Nordic region, as well as of Krediidiinfo, by offering them a region-wideinfrastructure. This enables them to apply consistent strategies andtechnologies wherever they operate in the region.

We believethis acquisition will bring considerable benefits to clients of both Experianand Krediidiinfo in the Nordic region.
