Experian, the credit data business which has its UK HQ in Nottingham, said has seen its revenues have grown on the back of more customers using its services to show the impact of inflation on finances.
The FTSE 100-listed company, which provides credit checks for businesses and consumers, said sales were up 7 per cent for the six months to September 30, to $3.2 billion (around £2.7 billion), were driven by new products and new clients.
It also reported an 8 per cent rise in profits, with benchmark earnings at $881 million (£738 million).
Chief executive Brian Cassin said: “While we expect economic conditions to be tougher over the balance of the year, and face some stronger comparables in Q3 [the last three months of 2022], our full year expectations are unchanged.
“We expect organic revenue growth of between 7-9 per cent, total revenue growth of between 8-10 per cent and modest margin accretion, all at constant exchange rates and on an ongoing basis.
"With many households and businesses facing a difficult period of rising costs in the coming months, we will also continue to push ahead with our mission to help millions of people improve their financial health and save money."
The business said it has a key role to play in helping communities deal with cost-of-living pressures as it gives people and businesses the tools to manage their finances and save money.
In the UK, recent financial volatility has led to some changes in customer behaviour, the group said.
Lenders have become more focused on risk-based analysis and adjusting their criteria for new customers, indicating they are more wary of who they lend to and the risks they take on.
Among its utility and energy clients, Experian noted it has seen greater demand for analytics which reveal the impact of energy price impacts on households.
The company, which employs more than 21,000 people in 30 countries, said it now reaches 145 million free consumer members across its three largest markets, up nearly a fifth year-on-year.
Members can use the service to check their credit score and receive credit reports, as well as compare cards and loans.
