Frequently asked questions

Why do companies choose Creditsafe over TransUnion?

Creditsafe offers high-quality global business data on an easy-to-use platform. Our simple interface and unmatched customer service sets us apart from the competition. Every customer benefits from a dedicated account manager and unlimited training, so you know you’ll get the most out of your Creditsafe account. Plus, while TransUnion offers many tools for consumer credit risk, Creditsafe’s focus and dedication to specifically business credit reporting make us the obvious choice. 

How quickly can my business start using Creditsafe?

Most businesses are up and running with Creditsafe the same day they join us. TransUnion and other options involve longer onboarding processes, additional technical setup and complicated training. Creditsafe is built for speed and simplicity, with onboarding support included to get you live in hours – not weeks. 

What makes Creditsafe different to TransUnion?

Our attention is never divided. While TransUnion offers solutions for consumer and business credit risk, Creditsafe focuses completely on business credit reporting. Being specific allows us to deliver more insights at a lower cost, with seamless integrations that let you run credit checks directly from your CRM or ERP platform. Because of this, Creditsafe has also become the most used supplier of business credit information that is trusted by over 115,000 businesses worldwide.

Does Creditsafe integrate with my existing system?

Yes. Creditsafe provides pre-built integrations with major CRMs, ERPs and finance platforms. With Creditsafe, integration is simple and allows you to run credit checks directly from the systems you already use. 

Is Creditsafe easier to use than TransUnion?

Yes: Creditsafe is straightforward and easy to use, so teams can get started quickly. While looking for important information within TransUnion's platforms can feel like a treasure hunt – especially since their focus is on consumer reports – Creditsafe is all about simplicity. The clearly labeled tabs and charts you’ll find in our business credit reports tell you what you need to know immediately. If you need help accessing information, using your account or understanding which tools can help your business, your dedicated account manager is standing by. No more lock-outs or long wait times for support. 

How does Creditsafe’s pricing compare with TransUnion?

Creditsafe is known for our transparent and affordable pricing, with no hidden costs. TransUnion and other providers often charge premium rates for global data, additional users and integrations. With Creditsafe, you get global business credit data included for an overall more affordable cost.

Does Creditsafe offer a free trial?

Yes. Creditsafe offers a free trial so you can experience our platform and reports firsthand. We also provide sandbox access to our API and integrations, so it’s easy to test within your existing systems. Our competitors, including TransUnion, typically don’t offer the same level of hands-on trial access.

How reliable is Creditsafe data compared to TransUnion?

Creditsafe sources data from over 9,000 trusted sources worldwide. Plus, we update our data up to 5 million times a day, so it’s always accurate and up-to-date. While TransUnion has strong consumer data coverage, Creditsafe provides real-time updates and global visibility for business credit reports in one platform, so you know the information you’re seeing is reliable.
