On October 15, 2025, TransUnion announced it extended its partnership with the Canadian Secure Token Governance Authority (CST‑GA) to support Canadian telecommunications service providers in the STIR/SHAKEN call‑authentication ecosystem. The agreement expands TransUnion’s role as the Secure Telephone Identity Policy Administrator (STI‑PA) and Certification Authority (CA) in Canada, providing the digital certificates required for compliance.
Under the new terms, TransUnion will continue to deliver system and support services to Canadian service providers, enabling automated onboarding of additional CST‑GA approved CAs following a recent CRTC decision. The expansion builds on a prior agreement and positions TransUnion as the primary infrastructure provider for Canada’s call‑authentication market, which is growing amid rising AI‑driven spoofing and robocalling.
The partnership allows TransUnion to capture recurring revenue from certificate issuance and support services while reinforcing its reputation as a trusted identity‑resolution and security partner. By securing the STI‑PA and CA roles, TransUnion can generate new revenue streams and strengthen its competitive moat in the Canadian telecommunications sector.
The agreement underscores TransUnion’s strategy to broaden its footprint beyond core credit reporting into adjacent data‑security services, potentially creating additional revenue opportunities and enhancing its long‑term value proposition in the Canadian market.
