ClearScore launches in New Zealand
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in the UK, ClearScore claims to serve 19 million users in many parts of the world, with the firm expanding to South Africa in 2017, Australia in 2020, and Canada in 2022. It operates a financial marketplace for people to access and save money on credit cards, loans, and car finance.
In March this year, the fintech firm partnered with Illion, one of Australasia’s leading credit bureaus, to provide Australian users with enhanced credit data to add to what is already available through Experian. The partnership is now being extended to cover New Zealand, with Illion’s Credit Simple users invited to join ClearScore.
“ClearScore has been expanding rapidly in Australia, and now we are set to see similar growth in New Zealand built on the partnership that we have established with Illion,” comments Stephen Smyth, chief international officer at ClearScore Group.
The firm says it will add new financial partners in New Zealand over the coming months and will also roll out ClearScore Protect, its free personal data protection service to help guard against identity fraud and keep personal information safe.
