Experian UK&I has announced the addition of Konfir as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen digital verification capabilities across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The move brings together Experian’s established data and analytics expertise with Konfir’s employment and income verification technology to enhance how businesses verify consumer information.
Enhancing Verification Efficiency and Security
The integration is designed to improve the speed, accuracy, and security of verification processes for organizations such as lenders and landlords. By enabling more efficient access to verified employment and income data, the combined offering aims to streamline customer onboarding while reducing the risk of fraud. This supports more informed and confident decision-making across financial services and other sectors.
Consent-Based Data Sharing Model
Konfir’s platform allows individuals to securely share their employment and income information with approved third parties through a consent-based model. This approach gives consumers greater control over their data while simplifying what has traditionally been a manual and time-consuming verification process. The technology aligns with growing demand for faster, digital-first verification solutions.
Leadership Perspective
Chris Milligan, CEO and co-founder of Konfir, described the move as an opportunity to accelerate the company’s mission by leveraging Experian’s scale and resources. The collaboration is expected to expand the reach of Konfir’s solutions while enhancing Experian’s ability to deliver more comprehensive verification services to its clients.
The addition of Konfir reflects Experian’s broader strategy of investing in innovative technologies that improve access to financial services and support better consumer outcomes. By combining secure data-sharing capabilities with advanced analytics, the company aims to deliver more efficient, transparent, and reliable verification processes across the market.
