Sagestream is another (rarely used) credit bureau: https://www.sagestreamllc.com

Notably it's used by Bank of America

Interesting. I was unfamiliar with Innovis until last week where an article I read mentioned freezing your credit profile with the big 3 agencies and mentioned that it wouldn't hurt to contact Innovis as well.

Are they a distant 4th then?

If you put a security alert on on your profile with one of the big 3 agencies it automatically propagates to the other 2. I wonder why it doesn't propagate to this agency as well.

FWIW, the only major company that I know of that uses Innovis is US Bank.

Interesting, it's tempting to not be concerned about them then although if we've learned anything there is zero correlation between doing business with someone and them collecting data about you.
