Have a Question?

Everyone deserves to be treated fairly. Perhaps nowhere is this more important than when applying to rent a home or making a major purchase. But for many of us, tracking down, copying, uploading, and submitting our pay stubs create unnecessary hassles that may lead to sharing inaccurate information and potentially unfair outcomes. Payscore tackles these shortcomings and ensures your automated income verification reports the most accurate information possible.

Payscore eliminates the 'paper chase' of tracking down, copying, and submitting old pay stubs for every applicant. This means eliminating the use of pay stubs. No more scrounging around, making copies, and submitting images.

Second, we ensure that all your hard work is credited. If you work in the service economy then the cash, or “tip” component of your income should count and it will, if you are depositing that income in your account.

If your income fluctuates with commissions, like a sales representative, then your last two pay stubs might wildly understate your earnings. If you work a side hustle, have a role in the ‘gig’ economy, or are self-employed, then we strive to ensure you are treated fairly by accurately illustrating all of your income.

We strive to make sure that you move into the best home possible or make that critical, life-enhancing purchase. And we make that as accurate and easy as possible with a few clicks on your phone or computer.

To verify your income, we collect the data comprising deposits history directly from your bank. To do so, we need your permission and participation. You give us this permission by logging in to your bank through a secure channel provided by your bank. Rest assured, Payscore only routes, and never retains, your sensitive credentials. Your participation is what positions you to share the most complete picture of your total income.

It's very important that you login to your primary deposit account for us to assess your income. For example, logging into your credit account will show no income when using Payscore.

You’ll share less info outright by using our system than you would under the old-fashioned method of sharing pay stubs and bank statements. And we understand that sharing sensitive financial information may sound intimidating. That's why we don't store any of your sensitive data.

Specifically, our system was designed to maintain your privacy and security. Our online income verification utilizes 256‐bit encryption, the same used by your bank. Your username and passwords are never displayed, viewed, or stored. This is the safest, fastest, and most convenient way for you to submit your information for a potential property manager or lender to review and approve.

We have only the ability to read transaction info. We cannot login, make any charges, withdraw any money, make unauthorized transfers, or anything that would require your explicit permission. Once we are done collecting transaction history, we disconnect our ability to view your bank transaction data.We cannot login, make any charges, withdraw any money, make unauthorized transfers, or anything that would require your explicit permission. Once we are done collecting transaction history, we disconnect your bank account.

After we calculate your income, you will have the opportunity to review and confirm your information before a report is produced. This information includes:

• Account balances

• Account holder name

• Total recurring net income

• Average recurring monthly net income

• Total non-recurring net income

• Average non-recurring monthly net income

• Individual income streams, bothrecurring and non-recurring

• Line item details for each deposit

Payscore verifies the applicant's net income. Payscore analyzes the transaction data from an applicant's bank account, providing up-to-the-minute income data. The greatest value in relying on net income data is it reflects the applicant’s probable cash on hand in any given month, the funds from which they can meet potential future financial obligations. This approach reflects amounts following deductions for taxes, retirement contributions, health insurance, or other items.
