Summary

Konfir is a UK Government-certified service that helps you verify your employment and/or income quickly and securely. Instead of chasing old employers or uploading piles of documents, you connect trusted data sources (like HMRC, Payroll, or your Bank) and Konfir creates a verified record for the organisation that asked. Itโ€™s fast, secure, and always under your control.


Why you might be asked to use Konfir

When youโ€™re applying for a new job, renting a property, or applying for a loan or mortgage, the organisation often needs proof of your work history or income. Traditionally, this meant:

  • Sharing payslips, P60s or bank statements

  • Waiting days or weeks for HR to reply to reference requests

  • Uncertainty about where your data was going

Konfir makes this process digital - verifying in minutes instead of weeks, with no manual chasing. The result is a standardised and tamper-proof verification record, giving both you and the organisation confidence in the outcome.


What makes Konfir different

Unlike traditional checks, Konfir provides:

  • โšก Speed โ€“ Verifications usually complete in minutes, not days or weeks.

  • ๐Ÿ”’ Security โ€“ Data is retrieved directly from official sources and encrypted.

  • ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Control โ€“ You decide which sources to connect; Konfir never retains access.

  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธโ€๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ Privacy โ€“ Konfir never contacts your current or past employers.

  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Trust โ€“ Is UK Government-certified (UKDIATF) and secure (ISO 27001)

  • ๐ŸŽฏ Accuracy โ€“ Using multiple trusted data sources (HMRC, payroll, banks) reduces errors and protects against fraud.
