How does it work?

The process begins with the employee’s authorisation. When an employee applies for a loan, a new job or a service that requires a data check, they give their authorisation for a ‘verifier’ (such as the bank or the new employer) to make a request to the Equifax Verification Exchange to confirm their income and/or employment status.

The Equifax Verification Exchange makes a secure connection to Cintra and retrieves the information authorised by the employee. Once retrieved this information is securely delivered to the verifier and nobody else. This digital transfer is faster, more secure and more accurate than employees gathering copies of previous payslips.
