Experian today unveiled the next evolution of the Experian Virtual Assistant, EVA™.

Experian has launched the next evolution of its Virtual Assistant, EVA, marking a significant advancement in consumer-focused artificial intelligence. The enhanced platform expands beyond credit insights to deliver personalized, conversational financial guidance to more than 85 million members.

The upgraded EVA represents a breakthrough in how consumers interact with their financial data, combining near real-time spending analysis, tailored recommendations, and relevant financial offers. The evolution reflects Experian's broader strategy to embed adaptive AI across the consumer journey and transform how people engage with their financial information.

From Credit Insights to Financial Copilot

Since its initial launch, EVA has helped consumers understand their credit through secure, real-time conversations. The latest version expands this capability significantly, giving members visibility into how everyday spending affects their overall financial picture through insights from connected financial accounts.

Members can now track spending trends over time, identify top categories and largest transactions, and uncover opportunities to reduce unnecessary expenses. The platform also allows users to explore personalized credit card offers from third-party lenders available through Experian Marketplace within a guided experience.

"This next generation of EVA reflects the direction of our consumer AI strategy," said Debbie Hsu, Executive Vice President of Product at Experian Consumer Services. "We are bringing together conversational AI, personalization, and our trusted data foundation to deliver guidance that is intuitive, relevant, and actionable. Our focus is on helping consumers make smarter financial decisions in ways that feel simple and empowering."

Practical Insights for Everyday Decisions

Rather than simply displaying a FICO Score, EVA now analyzes connected accounts to highlight recent spending patterns. The assistant can identify increased dining or subscription costs compared to prior months, flag larger transactions, and help members manage upcoming bills and subscriptions by surfacing expected due dates, predicted amounts, and total monthly recurring spending.

This approach translates complex financial data into clear, practical next steps. EVA serves as an intelligent financial copilot, helping consumers move from insight to action with confidence. Members gain a clear view of where their money is going in near real-time and understand how everyday spending fits into their overall financial picture.

Adaptive Intelligence Built on Trusted Data

Interactions with EVA evolve in real time based on how each member engages. The assistant tailors explanations, surfaces relevant insights, and prioritizes recommendations aligned with individual credit and financial goals. Whether someone is new to credit, managing monthly expenses, or exploring new financial opportunities, EVA translates complexity into clarity and action.

Powered by Experian's proprietary data, consumer-permissioned information, and advanced AI capabilities, EVA is designed with privacy and security as core principles. Experian designs and monitors its AI systems using established governance, testing, and oversight frameworks to promote fairness, transparency, and consumer protection.

Part of a Broader AI Strategy

This milestone builds on Experian's broader strategy to embed intelligent, trusted AI across the consumer ecosystem. The advancement follows the launch of the Experian Insurance Marketplace app integrated with the ChatGPT platform, demonstrating how the company continues meeting consumers wherever they are with personalized insights and relevant financial opportunities.

"By combining advanced AI with consumer first design and a foundation of trusted data, we are expanding access to personalized financial tools and creating more opportunities for financial inclusion," Hsu added.

These innovations reflect Experian's long-term vision to combine proprietary data, advanced AI, and trusted guidance to enable more intuitive financial decision-making in the moments that matter most to consumers.

EVA is available to Experian members through the Experian mobile app and website. The virtual assistant provides general information and educational insights but does not provide personalized investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Users should consult qualified professionals for personalized guidance. To learn more or enroll, visit www.experian.com.
