By informing mortgage lenders upfront if an applicant has a verification of employment and income (VOIE) record on The Work Number database, The Work Number Report Indicator gives lenders a more complete view of the borrower earlier in the process. This added context supports better informed lending decisions, streamlined verification ordering, and an improved borrower experience.

“An early indication that borrower and co-borrower VOIE will be readily available at underwriting helps streamline decisioning for lenders,” said Steve Schulz, Executive Vice President of Product Management at Informative Research. “Our full suite of verification solutions is curated to increase operational efficiency and manage overall cost, and we’re excited to add this new innovation to further support our clients.”

Informative Research’s layered approach gives lenders the flexibility to match the right verification strategy to their loan workflow, improving both borrower experience and operational efficiency.

“Collaborating with Informative Research on this offering enables lenders to gain a more complete view of a consumer’s financial profile earlier in the lending process,” said Joel Rickman, General Manager and Senior Vice President for U.S. Mortgage and Verification Services at Equifax. “Bringing The Work Number Report Indicator to more lenders supports increased confidence in early loan assessments and helps drive a more seamless mortgage experience.”
