Today’s competitive lending environment requires a fuller view of consumers’ financial profiles, and Equifax is committed to supporting the mortgage industry through an extensive set of data-driven solutions. The Work Number Report Indicator<\/a><\/u> notifies mortgage lenders upfront if an applicant has a verification of income and employment (VOIE) record on The Work Number database. Delivering this information alongside its mortgage prequalification credit report, Equifax is enabling mortgage lenders to instantly obtain information about both an applicant’s creditworthiness and employment status.<\/p>\n

This innovation is enabled by the company’s more than $1.5 billion<\/span> technology and data transformation into the Equifax Cloud. Central to the Equifax Cloud is the custom Equifax data fabric, an adaptable data platform that unifies the enterprise’s data (from over 100 siloed data sources) in a single, virtual structure, while enabling critical data governance measures, including data segregation, and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. The ability to leverage the power of multiple unique Equifax data assets through data fabric enables lenders to have a better understanding of an applicant’s creditworthiness, while also meeting high consumer expectations for a more efficient and streamlined process.<\/p>\n

“At Equifax, we strive to create unique solutions that will move the mortgage market forward by offering greater levels of visibility into a consumer’s financial health, streamlining the mortgage underwriting process and allowing more consumers to benefit from homeownership,” said Joel Rickman<\/span>, General Manager and Senior Vice President of U.S. Mortgage and Verification Services at Equifax. “While traditional credit reports remain a strong indicator of creditworthiness, we believe more data drives better decisions. By leveraging the power of the Equifax Cloud to include an indicator of VOIE availability upfront alongside the credit report, we enable lenders to have a more complete picture of a consumer’s financial profile earlier in the process.”<\/p>\n
