Collection of data from credit bureaus and identity verification services triggers FCRA obligations, including permissible purpose requirements and adverse action notice rights, which are distinct from general privacy law protections.
Interpretive note: The truncated document prevents full confirmation of the specific third-party data source disclosures; this provision reflects standard Brex Privacy Policy content inferred from available document structure and publicly available policy summaries.
When Brex obtains your credit or identity information from third-party sources for creditworthiness assessment, you may have rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to be notified of adverse actions and to dispute inaccurate information held by those sources.

"We may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as credit bureaus, identity verification services, financial data aggregators, and publicly available sources, to verify your identity, assess creditworthiness, and supplement the information we collect directly from you.— Excerpt from Brex's Brex Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Use of credit bureau data and identity verification services for eligibility determinations engages the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), enforced by the FTC and CFPB. FCRA requires a permissible purpose for obtaining consumer reports, adverse action notices when credit-related decisions are made based on such reports, and accuracy obligations. Use of financial data aggregators may also engage the CFPB's Open Banking rules under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium to High. FCRA compliance for corporate credit products involves specific procedural obligations including adverse action notices and dispute resolution mechanisms. Failure to comply with FCRA adverse action notice requirements is a well-documented source of regulatory enforcement and private litigation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: FCRA applies nationally. California, New York, and other states have additional consumer credit protection laws that may impose obligations beyond federal minimums. For business credit products, the FCRA's applicability to commercial credit reports differs from consumer reports and may affect the scope of protections available. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should confirm whether Brex's use of third-party data sources is disclosed in applicable account agreements and whether the FCRA permissible purpose basis is clearly documented. Vendor assessments of Brex should include review of its FCRA compliance program, particularly for products used by individuals who are also personal guarantors. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether Brex's adverse action notice practices satisfy FCRA requirements, whether the data aggregators and credit bureaus used by Brex are disclosed, and whether the policy's description of third-party data sourcing is sufficient for FCRA disclosure obligations.
