Podcast: Misconceptions Associated with Verifications

by Ted Wentzel 1 min read April 16, 2024

In the previous episode of “The Chrisman Commentary” podcast, Joy Mina, Director of Product Commercialization at Experian, talked about the benefits of a waterfall strategy for income and employment verification. In the latest episode, Joy explores common misconceptions around verifications, such as how a lender needs to put a provider with the most records first in their waterfall.

“While that might feel like a sure-fire way to cut costs, it isn’t necessarily the most effective,” said Joy. “Instead of comparing records, I would really encourage lenders to focus on a provider’s total cost to verify a consumer.”

Listen to the full episode to learn about more misconceptions associated with verifications and what you can do to enhance your strategies.

  Experian Verify is redefining how lenders streamline income and employment verification; a value clearly reflected in Marcus Bondraeger’s experience at Freedom Mortgage. With access to the second-largest instant payroll network in the U.S., Experian Verify  connects lenders to millions of unique employer records, including those sourced through Experian Employer Services clients, delivering instant results at scale. This reach enables lenders to reduce manual processes, accelerate loan decisions and enhance the borrower experience from the very first touchpoint. Unlike traditional verification providers, Experian Verify offers transparent, value-driven pricing: it charges only when a consumer is successfully verified, not simply when an employer record is found. As lenders navigate increasing compliance requirements and secondary market expectations, they can also rely on Experian Verify’s FCRA-compliant framework, fully supporting both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Combined with Experian’s industry-leading data governance and quality standards, lenders gain a verification partner they can trust for accuracy, security, and long-term operational efficiency. Perhaps most importantly, Experian Verify delivers 100% U.S. workforce coverage through its flexible, automated waterfall: instant verification, consumer-permissioned verification, and research verification. This multilayered approach ensures lenders meet every borrower where they are, whether they’re connected to a large payroll provider, a smaller employer, or require additional document-based validation. As Marcus highlights in the video, this comprehensive and configurable design empowers lenders to build verification workflows that truly fit their business needs while enhancing speed, completeness, and borrower satisfaction.
