Equifax and MONEY Magazine Join Forces to Help Consumers Manage Financial Health

ATLANTA – Equifax Inc. and MONEY Magazine are embarking on a joint mission to help consumers be proactive about credit management and smart about their financial health. Working together, these two respected industry leaders are giving today’s credit active consumers easier access to personal finance resources and credit management tools to help them set and achieve their financial goals. Through this new initiative, consumers receive 12 issues of MONEY Magazine when they purchase select Equifax credit management services.

“Our relationship with MONEY Magazine allows us to put valuable credit management tools in the hands of millions of consumers looking to take charge of their financial futures,” said Vince Corica, group executive, Personal Solutions, Equifax. “This latest initiative combines the strength of two trusted sources of credit and financial management information to help consumers across the country meet their financial objectives.”

Included in the Equifax/MONEY Magazine offering are two of Equifax’s signature credit management services — Score Watch™ and Equifax Credit Watch™ Gold — designed to help consumers manage and protect their credit. Score Watch is a score monitoring service that arms consumers with information on credit score changes that may affect interest rates when applying for a loan or making a major purchase. Equifax Credit Watch™ is an industry-leading credit monitoring service that alerts consumers within 24 hours of key changes to their Equifax Credit Report™ — helping consumers safeguard their personal information and protect themselves from identity theft.

“We are pleased to be working with Equifax to provide today’s consumers and their families with increased access to the latest information and resources to make informed buying decisions and cultivate a deeper understanding of their financial outlook,” said Mike Dukmejian, Publisher, MONEY Magazine. “Through this teaming effort, consumers and their families receive sound advice and practical tools to help them prepare for major purchases and achieve financial security.”

The MONEY Magazine offer also extends to consumers who purchase other Equifax credit management products. These Equifax subscribers can take home an annual subscription to MONEY Magazine at a greatly reduced rate.

Equifax has a long-standing history of providing consumers with the right resources to manage and protect their personal credit. Through its new relationship with MONEY Magazine, Equifax is giving consumers additional access to key products in its suite of Personal Solutions credit management offerings.
