(Reuters) - Credit check firm Experian Plc (L:EXPN) has agreed to buy South African peer Compuscan for $262.78 million (206.5 million pounds), bulking up its existing African operations and giving it a foothold in a handful of other states, Experian said in a statement on Monday.
Britain's competition watchdog last month indicated it may block Experian's (L:EXPN) takeover of rival ClearScore due to concerns that the deal could stifle development of digital products that help customers understand personal finances.
