TransUnion and Baihang Credit have entered into a strategic cooperation to promote mutual recognition of credit reference products among financial institutions. The strategic cooperation provides a basis for TransUnion Hong Kong and Baihang Credit to collaborate in promoting financial inclusion in the GBA.

This partnership will enable mainland consumers to have efficient and convenient access to credit and other financial services from Hong Kong financial institutions, while also facilitating Hong Kong consumers to access such services from mainland financial institutions. In addition, the collaboration will support credit providers in preventing fraud and making holistic lending decisions powered by TransUnion’s cutting-edge solutions.
