Credit Bureau
(redirected from Credit reference agency)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.09 sec.
Credit Bureau
An agency that researches and collects individual credit information and sells it for a fee to creditors so they can make a decision on granting loans. Typical clients include banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies and other financing companies. Also commonly referred to as consumer reporting agency or credit reporting agency.

Notes:
A credit bureau doesn't decide whether an individual qualifies for credit or not. It only collects information that it considers relevant to a person's credit history and habits.
The three main credit bureaus in the United States are Equifax, Experian and Trans Union.
