Welcome to the Experian Thought Leadership Hub

Income and employment verification play an important role in the mortgage loan industry, yet these activities are often overlooked as an area of opportunity for lenders to improve the production process, gain cost efficiencies and yield a better customer experience. In fact, many mortgage business leaders may not be aware that the verification business has dramatically changed in the last few years, with more options, increasingly transparent pricing and better services available to them. In this web seminar you will learn:

What lenders really want from their income verification service providers

• How instant verification can offer greater efficiency, speed and less friction
• Why gaining efficiencies in your verification processes can pay significant dividends as your business scales its loan production
• How to obtain more transparent pricing from your verification vendors
• Why it pays significant benefits to change existing verification processes
