The Work Number® is a fast and secure way to provide proof of your employment or income - a necessary step in many of today's life events involving credit, financing, or securing of benefits or services. The Work Number simplifies the verification process and accelerates credit decisions through an online system available to verifiers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In most cases, your consent is provided at the point of application for a service - when you sign a loan application or similar agreement - and a Salary Key is not required, but if you are asked to provide one from the verifier, follow The Work Number - Creating Salary Keys instructions.
Current and former employees must use The Work Number when employment or income verification is needed for loan applications, housing or automobile leases, job applications, etc. The verifier (lender, landlord, potential employer, etc.) will not receive employment or income verification from Human Resources or Payroll.
