What is Konfir?

Konfir is a UK employment and income verification platform used by employers, lenders, and landlords.

Written by Jacob

Summary

Konfir is a UK-based platform that securely verifies employment and income information. If you've been asked to use Konfir, it's because an organisation you're dealing with has asked Konfir to handle their verification process on their behalf.

Konfir is certified under the UK Government's Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), ISO 27001 certified, and operates in compliance with UK GDPR. Verifying with Konfir is fast, secure, and always under your control.


Why use Konfir

You may be using Konfir because:

1. An organisation has asked you to complete a verification

You may be asked to complete a Konfir verification when an organisation needs to confirm your employment or income details for:

  • 🎯 Starting a new job – as part of employment screening or onboarding

  • 🏑 Renting a property – for tenant referencing

  • πŸ’· Applying for finance – such as loans, credit, or mortgages

2. You're creating a verification for yourself

You may want a verified record of your employment or income to share proactively β€” with a new employer, landlord, or lender. See: What is Verify Yourself?

What makes Konfir different from normal checks?

Unlike traditional references and manual checks, Konfir provides:

  • ⚑ Speed – Verifications are completed in minutes, not days or weeks.

  • πŸ‘οΈβ€πŸ—¨οΈ Privacy – Konfir never contacts your current or past employers

  • 🎯 Objectivity – Your verification is an objective record, with no opinions or character-based judgments

  • πŸ›‘οΈ Trust – Konfir is certified by the UK Government under the Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework (UKDIATF).

  • πŸ”’ Security – Konfir only shares data via encrypted APIs, unlike email-based document checks.

  • πŸ•ΉοΈ Control – Konfir never retains access to any connected data sources. All connections are instant, one-time and auditable within your accounts.


How it works

You'll be asked to complete your verification in the Konfir journey, where you can:
