SCHUFA is expanding its identity fraud protection services with a free solution: With SCHUFA's new service, consumers can find out in seconds whether they have been the victim of data theft: The SCHUFA-IdentChecker searches for personal data from sources on the Internet, Darknet and Deep Web. Consumers can thus find out whether sensitive personal data such as IBAN, ID or credit card numbers have been circulated without authorisation and receive concrete recommendations for action.
SCHUFA Holding AG is acquiring the Berlin-based fintech company Forteil GmbH, provider of the well-known bonify platform, which offers services related to creditworthiness and personal finances.
