Our take

Spring Labs’ Spring Protocol network leverages blockchain technology and cryptography to allow users (mainly financial institutions) to securely share key information about data, without sharing the actual data itself. By doing this, companies can protect consumer data while still sharing information among themselves to verify identities, tackle fraud, and predict the credit worthiness of people who are outside of the traditional credit bureau system.

That publicly listed company TransUnion is a major investor in Spring Labs speaks to the value the Spring Protocol network can offer legacy institutions in their analysis and decision making processes. It also has the potential to unlock greater financial access for consumers, since around 40 million US citizens don’t have a credit score.

TransUnion’s partnership in turn allows the company to accelerate and scale up its operations, having gained access to both its industry expertise, sales force, and customer base.
