TransUnion was formed in 1968. It was a holding company for a railroad leasing organization. The very next year, it was acquired by the Credit Bureau of Cook County and then in 1981, by the Marmon Group. TransUnion was then acquired by Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Advent International in 2010. By that time, TransUnion has established itself. In 2014, TransUnion acquired a data company called TLO and in 2015, TransUnion went public. It trades under the TRU symbol. TransUnion has progressively added new products and services to its portfolio. For example, it modified its conventional credit report to create a new product for businesses. In this new product, TransUnion included information that could give insights to a business about the repayment ability of its customers and the debt profile of its customers.
