Equifax Identity Matching links customer information held in disconnected sources, including records where names or addresses differ. It assigns persistent consumer identifiers and can create consumer, household, and address keys, helping organizations form a single customer view. Equifax says it compares multiple datasets and data-element combinations, and can combine company records with consumer credit and specialty finance data. Matching and updates are described as cloud-based and near real time, with incremental key changes available through delta services. Delivery options include batch services, an online API, and cloud-native Keying as a Service in Snowflake or Google Cloud Platform BigQuery environments. Confidential Keying keeps raw personal information in a customer cloud environment. Data is encrypted and tokenized, usage is regulated by GLBA, and processes are regularly validated. OAuth 2.0 client credentials secure APIs; production access requires credentials and whitelisted IP addresses. Pricing is on request.
