Facteus
Consumer spend intelligence from card data
About
Founded in 2010 as ARM Insight and rebranded to Facteus, the company transforms real-world transactions from over 185 million credit and debit cards into daily, privacy-compliant consumer spend intelligence. Its data products provide insight into actual consumer purchasing behavior, enabling market share analysis, competitive benchmarking, and predictive analytics at the merchant and SKU level. Facteus also offers synthetic data solutions for privacy-safe distribution. The company serves financial institutions, payment processors, investment firms, and retail corporations. Facteus positions itself as an alternative to traditional survey-based market research, delivering near-real-time transaction signals grounded in actual card spend rather than modeled estimates.
