TransUnion Compensation & Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
TransUnion supports competitive compensation through a broader Total Rewards approach that includes pay, benefits, retirement savings, stock ownership opportunities, performance-based rewards and programs designed to support associates’ physical, mental and financial well-being.
- Competitive total rewards: TransUnion describes its benefits as part of a comprehensive Total Rewards package developed with associates’ physical, mental and financial well-being in mind. The company also says it rewards and supports associates through competitive pay, benefits and perquisite programs that help associates and their families thrive. External compensation reviews describe salary as “very decent,” total compensation as fair for the work and benefits as a strength.
- Performance, equity and long-term value: TransUnion’s rewards package includes performance bonuses, company equity and an associates stock purchase plan. U.S. associates with at least three months of service can participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which allows them to buy TransUnion stock at a 15% discount off the closing stock price on the final day of the offering period. The company also offers two annual ESPP offering periods and 401(k) savings options to help associates build long-term financial security.
- Financial wellness and retirement support: TransUnion offers regular 401(k) and Roth 401(k) options, with immediate eligibility for the company match once an associate starts contributing. The company matches dollar-for-dollar on the first 3% contributed and $0.50 per dollar on the next 2%, for a total 4% match. It also provides a discretionary company retirement contribution, financial wellness resources, long-term care insurance and charitable contribution matching.
- Benefits that increase total value: TransUnion’s compensation package is supported by health coverage, dental, vision, mental wellness resources, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, caregiver support, tuition reimbursement, Flexible Time Off for salaried associates, paid holidays, Global Wellness Days, Volunteer Time Off, commuter benefits and associates discounts. A senior vice president for financial planning and analysis said, “The benefits provided by TransUnion truly exceeded my expectations,” underscoring how the company’s total rewards package can support associates through major life events.
