The Work Number, in cooperation with your employer, provides a secure and convenient way to authorize third-party verifiers (like lenders, landlords, social service agencies, and prospective employers) to verify your employment and income.

Benefits of This Service

• Easier loan approvals
• Improved Confidentiality
  Your HR department is no longer filling your requests for employment or income verification.
• Much Faster
  Many employers can take a week or more to fill a request for a verification of employment or income. The Work Number can reduce this to minutes.
• Improved Security
  Verifiers are credentialed before using our service and we keep a complete list of who has accessed your information.
• Improved Accuracy
  The Work Number does not change the data that your employer provides, and it eliminates the chance of the human error.

Security
When you login to your personal account with The Work Number, you enter a secure area which protects your data using SSL encryption, in addition to secure identifying data like usernames and passwords.

Encryption scrambles the information moving between two computers. The only parties who can see the data in a readable format are the sender and intended receiver.

Secure Socket Layers, or SSL, is an encryption standard that was developed by Netscape Corporation and is based on a public key/private key encryption scheme. SSL is a widely used standard on the Internet today and facilitates secure commerce in almost every industry.
