Truework checks income for major credit extensions like mortgages and auto loans using customer permission as a foundation.

“With access to over 35 million (and counting) US employee records, Truework enables lenders to convert more borrowers and make faster credit decisions with verified income. Series C funding will help us further empower both sides of the verification equation and help build a more efficient, secure, and stable credit system.”
Ryan Sandler, CEO, Truework.
Truework links customers to more than 17,000 lenders nationwide, from small banks to local credit unions, frequently enabling income verification within seconds, increasing applicant conversion by up to 14%, and lowering verification cost per loan by 60%.
In 2022, more than 20,000 small businesses and 100 corporations will use Truework to fulfill more than 12 million requests for income and employment. Twenty of the top 25 lenders, including Fairway Independent Mortgage, Caliber, Guaranteed Rate, Citizens Bank, and LoanDepot, are among its mortgage clients.

Truework has delivered that solution to some of the nation’s largest banks and most future-forward investors. We are excited about Truework’s future vision to empower consumers and are proud to support their expansion.”
