ID Experts Releases New Features to Better Protect its Members from Financial Identity Theft and Fraud

Features include on the go credit file lock and unlock with the click of a button and real time alerts for credit inquiries.

PORTLAND, Ore.— ID Experts, the leading provider of data breach and identity protection services, announces several new features for members of its MyIDCare™ identity protection service that provide proactive protection from financial identity fraud. These features roll out as a part of its newly redesigned MyIDCare platform, a cloud native technology that is unparalleled in the identity protection services industry.

​These features are now available to MyIDCare Premier members and provide them with the peace of mind that comes from the most comprehensive identity protection on the market. They include features like credit file lock, credit score tracking and instant inquiry alerts when lenders access a consumer’s credit file. These tools are being provided to Premier members to add to their existing three-bureau credit monitoring and report, dark web monitoring and best-in-class public records monitoring.

​With more than 16 million Americans impacted by identity fraud in the last year alone, proactive and real-time solutions are a necessity. In a digital age where new and evolving cyber attacks constantly threaten consumers’ online identities, agile monitoring and immediate alerts are critical to gaining complete protection. ID Experts’ newly-redesigned MyIDCare platform is poised to address these new risks, providing even more peace of mind to its members through the rollout of its recent credit features.

​“We’re excited to offer our members innovative, leading-edge financial identity protection features that help them in proactively reducing their risks of fraud,” said Thomas Kelly, president and CEO, ID Experts. “With our new cloud-native platform, we can innovate more quickly than any player in identity protection services, bringing new features that address new cyber threats to our members as these threats emerge.”

​While consumers have a variety of options for monitoring their credit file and score, an easy, instant solution in times of crisis can be difficult to find. MyIDCare’s new features include credit lock, which allows members to easily and instantly lock and unlock one of their credit files, instant inquiry alerts that notify members immediately when a hard inquiry is made on one of their credit files and a credit score tracker that provides members with their updated credit score on a monthly basis. In combination, these provide for extra peace of mind from cyber risks.

​“We’ve built our new features to allow customers instant access to their credit status, and to put control of their privacy at their fingertips,” said Brent VanLoo, chief technology officer, ID Experts. “As a part of our industry-leading new platform, these features will give members extra assurance that MyIDCare is proactively monitoring and protecting their identities from attack.”
