In an era of widespread concern about fraud and unscrupulous business practices targeting the senior community, Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) announced today an agreement with SeniorChecked® to provide business verification services and directory data for a national network connecting seniors, their families and caregivers with trusted local service providers.

The agreement integrates two of Acxiom’s offerings:

  • Acxiom Information Security Services (AISS), with an extensive suite of security screening, identify verification and background check services. Through a vast data repository and a network of 3,000 professional searchers, Acxiom provides background checks for criminal histories, general character and previous work performance.
  • Acxiom’s InfoBase-X® Business Directory Database, providing listings for 14 million U.S. businesses. This multi-sourced business database is compiled from definitive telephone company listings and multiple merchant advertiser files across the U.S.

SeniorChecked, with its “SeniorChecked Trust Seal,” offers a network of screened and verified local businesses spanning a range of senior needs, from specialized providers of elder care and moving management services to more common service providers such as plumbers and landscapers.

“The combination of Acxiom’s offering fuels our network with high-quality listing data while adding a powerful resource for screening and verification,” said SeniorChecked CEO Chris Spanos. “This solution enables us to give seniors a one-stop resource for trusted local business information.”

“SeniorChecked is aggressively combating fraud and providing a needed service to the senior community,” said Michael Schwalbert, managing director of Acxiom's Diversified Industries Group. “Acxiom’s screening services and unparalleled data resources can optimize SeniorChecked services to help protect vulnerable consumers.”
