Experian Consumer Direct's Internet properties, which include ConsumerInfo.com, FreeCreditReport.com, CreditExpert.com, CreditMatters.com, along with co-branded partner sites, receive more than 10 million visitors monthly. In 1996, it was the first U.S. company to offer consumers online access to credit reports, and it went on to pioneer online delivery of three-bureau credit reports and lender-style credit scores. Its innovative three-bureau report provides consumers access to their complete credit history from their Equifax, Experian and TransUnion files in seconds. The company delivered more than 2.7 million credit scores in 2003 and currently, more than 2 million members belong to its credit monitoring service.
