We understand that being asked to connect your bank, HMRC, or payroll can feel like a lot. If you’ve landed on this page, you might be thinking:

“You already have my details - why do you need my bank/HMRC/payroll?”
“Is this really necessary for my job, tenancy, or application?”

The short answer is: your verifier wants confirmed evidence, directly from the trusted sources that hold that information. This helps them make an informed decision about your employment or income history and protects their process against fraud.
