Bank Transaction-Based Employment Verification Without Employer Contact

Confirm employment status using recurring bank transaction patterns instead of contacting employers. Fiskil's employment confirmation API identifies active employment through salary deposit regularity, employer name matching, and payment consistency.

The Challenge

Relying on employers to confirm employment creates bottlenecks, privacy concerns, and gaps for non-traditional workers.

The Solution

Fiskil analyses bank transaction patterns to confirm active employment. Recurring salary deposits from an identifiable source constitute verifiable proof of employment without requiring any employer interaction.

Capabilities

How Fiskil Helps

Active Employment Detection

Determine whether an individual is currently employed by identifying ongoing, regular salary deposits within the most recent pay periods. Gaps in deposits trigger flags for further review.

Employment Duration Estimation

Calculate approximate employment tenure by tracing recurring deposits from the same employer back through available transaction history, up to 12 months under CDR.

Employer Name Extraction

Parse and normalise employer names from transaction descriptions to provide a verified employer identity. Handles common abbreviations and payroll processor names.

Employment Continuity Scoring

Assess the regularity and consistency of salary deposits to produce an employment continuity score. Continuous, on-schedule payments score highest; irregular patterns are flagged.

Implementation

How It Works

1

Collect CDR Consent

The individual authorises access to their bank transaction data through Fiskil's CDR consent flow. Only transaction read scope is required.

2

Analyse Recent Transactions

Retrieve 3-6 months of transaction history and submit it to the employment detection endpoint. The API scans for recurring deposit patterns consistent with employment.

3

Review Employment Report

Receive a structured employment report including employer name, estimated start date, pay frequency, most recent deposit date, and continuity score.

4

Apply to Decision Logic

Feed the employment confirmation result into your downstream process — lending decisions, tenancy applications, background checks, or compliance assessments.

FAQs

For many use cases, yes. Transaction-based verification provides real-time, tamper-resistant proof of employment. Some regulated processes may still require supplementary documentation, but bank data can serve as the primary verification method.

The API uses pattern matching and known payroll processor databases to resolve employer names. If the name cannot be resolved with high confidence, the result is flagged for manual review.

The API considers employment "active" if a salary deposit has been received within the expected pay cycle window. For monthly pay, a deposit within the last 35 days is typical. The threshold is configurable.

Contractors who receive regular payments from the same source can be detected, though the confidence score may be lower than for traditional salary recipients due to more variable payment patterns.

Yes. CDR consent is mandatory — the individual must explicitly authorise access to their bank transaction data. This also protects against the risk of employers being contacted without employee knowledge.
