The Work Number by Equifax is a centralized commercial database that provides automated income and employment verification services for employers, verifiers, and employees. The platform streamlines the verification process by allowing credentialed verifiers, such as lenders, government agencies, and background screeners, to securely access real-time payroll data to make informed decisions for mortgages, auto loans, credit applications, and social service benefits. By automating these requests, the service reduces the administrative burden on HR departments, enhances data accuracy, and facilitates faster financial and employment-related decisions for millions of consumers across multiple global markets.
