Default Explanation

Use this when you need a simple, non-technical description:

We use Konfir to verify employment and/or income using trusted data sources (such as HMRC, payroll and Open Banking), with the applicant’s explicit consent.
Konfir returns a structured verification result to support our decision-making, rather than a traditional manual reference.


For Internal Teams

When to use: hiring managers, operations teams, internal SOPs.

We use Konfir to make employment and income checks faster and more consistent.
Applicants consent to connect trusted sources (e.g., HMRC, payroll, Open Banking), and Konfir returns a structured verification result - so we spend less time chasing references and more time reviewing clear outcomes.


For Compliance

When to use: vendor reviews, DPIA inputs, security questionnaires, procurement packs.

Konfir is designed for consent-led verification and supports strong governance controls (consent capture and auditability, secure data handling, and retention controls). Konfir is ISO 27001 certified and part of the UK Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework (UKDIATF).

For Your Clients

When to use: client FAQs, proposals, “how our checks work” pages.

We use Konfir to deliver verified employment and/or income evidence.
With the applicant’s consent, Konfir connects to trusted sources (such as HMRC, payroll, and Open Banking) and returns a structured result—typically faster and more consistent than traditional referencing.


For Your Applicants

When to use: applicant comms templates, objection handling.

You’ll complete a short Konfir verification to confirm your employment or income.
You’ll be asked to consent to the data sources available for your check (for example HMRC, payroll, or Open Banking). Nothing is accessed or shared without your permission.

If you need to reassure applicants about banking data:

Open Banking access is one-time and read-only. Konfir processes connected data into a structured verification output - rather than sharing raw bank statements.
