Informative Research, a technology provider delivering data-driven credit and verification solutions to the lending community, announced its integration with Thomas & Co., a provider of value-added employer services and solutions to support employee relations programs.
The integration adds Thomas & Co.’s wage and employment verification service to Informative Research’s verification platform, increasing its customers’ access to tens of millions of records necessary for verification of income and employment (VOI/E) in a wide range of industries within their portfolio.
The integration broadens the verification options available to Informative Research’s customers and increases the efficiency and agility of their VOI/E processes, according to Informative Research.
