Secure data and trusted collaboration company IXUP Limited (IXUP) (ASX: IXU) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to pilot its software with Equifax Australia.

Equifax is a global information solutions company that uses unique data, innovative analytics, technology and industry expertise to power organisations and individuals around the world by transforming knowledge into insights that help make more informed business and personal decisions.
