Verification of Education
What if you could instantly verify a loan applicant's education credentials with only their Social Security number?*
Leverage the nation's most comprehensive education data resource using only a loan applicant's Social Security number*
Equifax's education data is sourced from the National Student Clearinghouse®. The National Student Clearinghouse is a nonprofit and non-governmental organization used by 3,600 participating colleges and universities.
Alternative data, including education data, can provide lenders with a more holistic view of an applicant's current and future loan repayment reliability. Layering alternative data with a traditional credit score can help financial institutions make more informed loan and credit decisions
Higher levels of education can correlate with better loan repayment rates.
28%
On average, borrowers with verified higher education degrees are 28 percent less likely to miss multiple loan payments when compared to those without degrees.

3.6 Million
