|---|---|---|---|
| Income and employment verification | Yes — API (Plus/Premium/Core) | D | Verify Premium 'Returns the two most recent payroll records found ... within the last 90 days and the last payroll record from every employer found within the current year and two previous calendar years'; Verify Core returns the most recent employment record within 90 days. Field names are not published. Source |
| Pay statements | Yes — Government report | D | Experian Verify for Government 'Returns 6 previous months of paystub details from the date the report is requested ... and YTD totals for current year and 2 previous calendar years.' Source |
| Tax forms | Unverified | U | No W-2 or 1099 data is mentioned on the Experian Verify pages read. A correct answer needed an Experian document listing tax-form outputs. |
| Direct deposit switching | Not offered | — | A verification product; no deposit-switching capability. |
| Deduction and benefit write | Not offered | — | Read-only verification; no payroll write. |
| 401(k) and retirement | Unverified | U | No retirement or 401(k) fields are published for Verify. A correct answer needed a public report field specification. |
| Earned wage access | Not offered | — | Listed use cases (mortgage, auto, rental housing, employment screening, social services) do not include earned wage access. |
| Data freshness | On demand; reverify within 180 days | D | Instant API reports return in real time; mortgage clients can order Reverify VOE and VOIE within 180 days of the initial pull. No update cadence is stated for employer-contributed records. Source |
| Permission and auth model | Employer network + consumer | D | The waterfall starts with the 'instant employer payroll network', then permissioned verification where 'consumers can opt to connect to their payroll accounts', then research. Data is furnished 'only to verifiers who have a permissible purpose'. Source |
| Coverage claim (as stated) | Over 85% of US workforce (2023) | D | A July 19, 2023 press release states Experian can 'verify income and employment for over 85% of the U.S. workforce'. Experian's employment screening page separately claims coverage of '100% of U.S. workers' — the two figures conflict. Source |
