What does The Work Number offer you?
More Privacy
Your personal information is protected. With your consent, your personal data can be retrieved only by credentialed verifiers.
Better Service
The Work Number is available to those needing your information 24 hours a day. No waiting for your lender or landlord to exchange paperwork with your employer to help close the deal.
Consent
You authorize credentialed verifiers to retrieve your income information by signing a borrowers authorization form, an application for a benefit (such as a loan or social service request), or by creating a salary key (a onetime access code).
Security
The Work Number database uses stringent security standards to help protect your data. There are also controls in place by law (the Fair Credit Reporting Act) to help protect your privacy.
Another plus with The Work Number service is it lets you check to make sure your information is correct. The Employment Data Report (EDR) is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) so you can see your personal information and who was provided that information.
