Attention all clients using Equifax for credit pulls (for primary and backup bureau):
Starting October 1st, 2025, credit unions who use Equifax for credit pulls will see a new Bureau Servicing Fee of $25/month on invoices. This fee is a result of increased costs that we incurred in our renewed agreement with Equifax.
