Equifax-Mifundo Deal Opens Europe-Brazil Credit Data Corridor

European lenders gained direct access to Brazilian credit histories on May 18, 2026, after Mifundo integrated data from Equifax BoaVista, the Equifax Inc. subsidiary in Brazil. The Equifax-Mifundo partnership establishes the first non-European credit bureau link on the Tallinn-based platform, creating a Europe-Latin America credit data corridor aimed at the more than one million Brazilian nationals living and working across Europe.

The integration delivers verified repayment behaviour, outstanding obligations, and credit usage from Brazil in a standardised format that plugs into existing underwriting systems. Banks can pull the data without modifying their credit models or decision logic, a deliberate design choice intended to lower the operational barrier to adoption.
