COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Experian^®, the global data and technology leader, today announced it has been recognized as a 2025 HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage award winner. The recognition highlights Experian's innovative Power Profile Plus™ for Mortgage product — an industry-first solution that allows lenders to access Experian’s full credit report as a soft inquiry on an initial mortgage application.

Experian’s solution provides full, up-to-date credit insight from an initial extension of credit soft inquiry, which can help determine if a borrower is qualified without any negative impact to an applicant’s credit profile. At the same time, Experian’s solution gives lenders the opportunity to offer suitable terms to the borrower without paying for a full tri-merge report.

“This recognition exemplifies our commitment to provide the industry with innovative solutions to reduce lender costs and meet the needs of today’s homebuyers,” said Susan Allen, Chief Product Officer for Experian Housing. “Our solution has already had a sizable impact on the mortgage industry, providing lenders with the information needed to determine borrower eligibility without any unnecessary impact to an applicant’s credit history.”
