Founders & story · from Kount’s own dossier

Founded 2007 as a fraud-detection SaaS for e-commerce, Kount evolved into a broader identity trust platform covering payments fraud, account takeover, and chargeback management. Acquired by Equifax in 2021 for ~$640M, Kount became the core of Equifax's Identity & Fraud business unit within Information Solutions. The company now operates as 'Kount, an Equifax company,' with its fraud, device intelligence, and chargeback tools (including the acquired Midigator) integrated into Equifax's global data and analytics infrastructure.
