TransUnion said to near $3.1-billion deal for Neustar

Bengaluru: TransUnion could finalise by Monday a deal to buy information services company Neustar Inc. for $3.1 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported, a move that could help the credit ratings company diversify.

The paper cited people familiar with the matter. TransUnion and Neustar did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.

Virginia, US-based Neustar is a provider of real-time information and analysis that helps businesses identify potential customers and determines which ads to serve them.


An investment group led by private equity firm Golden Gate Capital took Neustar private in 2017 in a deal valued at $2.9 billion, including debt.
