Kirill shares his story from an immigrant needing to get a loan without a credit history and how that impacted the quoted rate.

TRUV is a technology that background screeners (CRAs) and mortgage companies use to verify employment.  The TRUV solution allows applicants to authenticate directly to the Payroll providers and platforms used by their former employers to securely pull back information needed to verify employment.

TRUV unlocks the power of CONSUMER-PERMISSIONED DATA to avoid the expensive alternatives like The Work Number.  Also, because TRUV gets SOURCE information there is little no concern about an applicant providing names and contact information of employers that are friends, family or relatives.  In short the accuracy of verifications when using TRUV is extremely high.

The TRUV solution also allows for verifications be completed in minutes instead of days.

The other benefits of using the TRUV solution are as follows;

  • Current employment can be verified discreetly
  • Verifications that are not completed due to The Work Number price increases are being done which help background screeners do more comprehensive background checks
  • Speed
  • Cost Savings ($50+ in some cases)
  • Integrations (Tazworks, Accio, etc.)
  • White labeling
  • Customized notifications/settings
