Equifax Brazilian Depositary Receipt is a financial instrument representing shares of Equifax common stock, designed for trading in the Brazilian market. It serves as a mechanism for Brazilian investors to gain exposure to Equifax Inc., a global leader in consumer credit reporting and analytics, without directly purchasing U.S.-listed shares. Each Equifax Brazilian Depositary Receipt provides holders with economic rights equivalent to a fraction of one Equifax common share, facilitating participation in Equifax's international operations, particularly its credit information services. Established through Equifax Brasil, a vehicle for the company's Brazilian investments, this depositary receipt emerged as part of the consideration in the acquisition of Boa Vista Serviços S.A., Brazil's second-largest credit bureau, enabling shareholders to elect receipts alongside cash or Equifax Brasil shares. It plays a key role in Equifax's expansion within Brazil's fast-growing credit market, supporting access to advanced data analytics, cloud-based decisioning tools, and expanded product offerings for financial institutions, businesses, and consumers. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Brazil, Equifax Brasil underscores Equifax's commitment to the region's dynamic financial services sector.
