What is the difference between a salary key and a verifier code?

Asked 2 years ago
A salary key and a verifier code serve different purposes within The Work Number services. The salary key is a unique numerical code provided by an employee that allows a verifier, such as a lender or employer, to access that individual’s salary information. It is typically used when an employee is applying for a loan, rental, or other financial transaction that requires proof of income. The employee must generate this key and share it with the verifier, as it acts as a security measure to ensure that only authorized parties can access sensitive salary details. On the other hand, a verifier code is assigned to organizations or entities that utilize The Work Number in their verification processes. This code allows the organization to securely access the employment and income information of individuals who have authorized the use of their data. While the salary key is specific to the employee's income verification, the verifier code ensures that authorized organizations can efficiently access the information needed during the verification process. For further information, individuals may want to explore the details available on The Work Number's official website.
