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

- 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.”

needed service to the senior community,” said Michael Schwalbert,
