What is The Work Number?

The Work Number is a secure and reliable service that provides employment and income verification for employees and employers. It is operated by Equifax, a trusted leader in consumer and business credit reporting. The Work Number allows lenders, landlords, government agencies, and other authorized parties to quickly and easily verify an individual's employment and income details, ensuring accurate decision-making in areas such as loan applications, lease agreements, and public assistance eligibility. Employees can grant consent to have their information shared, and employers regularly provide wage and employment data to The Work Number database. This comprehensive and efficient verification system saves time and reduces fraud while streamlining the verification process for all involved parties.
