Consumer information provider, Equifax, has expanded its fraud team, in an effort to crackdown on the growing threat of fraud.
Two new members are to be recruited to the team, which is led by Neil Lewis.
Equifax claims the expansion supports the development of its product range and will also provide a source of expertise for businesses.
Equifax Fraud Services chief Neil Lewis said: "We have a team of dedicated industry experts and their key focus is to work with organisations to find the most appropriate identity verification solutions for their particular needs.
"Through detailed research and analysis of our vast database of information and constant liaison with our customers, Equifax has managed to identify the main areas of concern for organisations today, which include identity theft, false identity, empty house fraud, account take over and money laundering."
