Experian has announced the expansion of its verification capabilities in the UK by integrating Konfir, marking a significant step forward in enhancing digital verification processes. With this move, the global data and technology company aims to simplify and accelerate income and employment checks, while improving overall customer experience across key sectors.
Currently, verification processes continue to present challenges for consumers, especially during important life events such as applying for loans, renting properties, or securing new jobs. In many cases, individuals still have to rely on slow, manual checks to confirm income or employment details. As a result, these outdated processes often create delays and disrupt the seamless digital journeys that modern customers expect.
To address these issues, Konfir introduces a more efficient, digital-first approach. Specifically, it combines Open Banking, payroll, and tax data to deliver accurate and real-time insights into an individual’s income and employment history covering up to six years. Consequently, employers, landlords, and lenders can make faster and more informed decisions without relying on cumbersome manual verification methods.
Moreover, the integration will be available across financial services, tenant screening, and employment markets. This enhancement further strengthens Experian’s existing capabilities by enabling quicker verification checks, improving fraud detection, and streamlining operational efficiency for its clients. In addition, the move aligns with Experian’s broader permissions-based data strategy, ensuring that data usage remains secure, transparent, and customer-consented.
At the same time, the addition of Konfir brings in a highly experienced team that has already been delivering verification services at scale to over 6,000 businesses across the UK. Therefore, Experian is not only expanding its technology stack but also reinforcing its expertise in delivering reliable and scalable verification solutions.
Malin Holmberg, CEO of Experian UK&I, said: “This is a significant moment for our business as it strengthens the next phase of our digital verification strategy. Having worked together since 2023, Konfir strengthens our existing income and employment verification capability, supporting simpler, faster and more seamless customer experiences. It also boosts our ability to innovate at pace, helping us deliver improvements sooner. We’re delighted to welcome the team and the expertise they will add to our business.”
Furthermore, Konfir’s leadership highlighted how this integration will accelerate its long-term mission of transforming verification processes.
Chris Milligan, CEO of Konfir, commented: “Our mission is simple: help people to progress through life’s key events more seamlessly and securely by improving how verification works. Over the past few years, we’ve been laser focused on this, scaling the Konfir platform across multiple industries and helping hundreds of thousands of people to change jobs, move homes, and access the financial products they need.
“By joining Experian, we can accelerate that mission. With access to new capabilities, datasets, and global reach, we’re excited to scale our impact, advance our international capabilities for clients, and move closer to becoming the leading infrastructure for verifications.”
Overall, this strategic integration positions Experian to deliver faster, more secure, and highly scalable verification solutions. As digital expectations continue to rise, the company is strengthening its ability to support businesses and consumers with seamless, data-driven verification experiences.
