Tartan’s Product Update — April 2022

Hey there,

Spring cleaning isn’t just for homes—we’ve been refreshing and streamlining our product experience too. Over the past month, our focus has been on reducing complexity in verification workflows and making integrations simpler, faster, and more scalable for our customers.

This April, we’re excited to introduce a major step forward in how verification is built and consumed at Tartan.

We’ve launched a Unified Verification API that brings multiple verification categories together into a single, seamless integration. Alongside this, we’re enabling faster access to ex-employment records in as little as 30 seconds, helping teams move quickly while maintaining confidence in their decisions.

Let’s dive into what’s new and why it matters.

One API for up to four categories of data

We know how painful it can be to manage multiple APIs, endpoints, and vendors just to complete a single verification journey. Each additional integration increases engineering effort, operational overhead, and system latency—making verification harder to maintain at scale.

To solve this, we’ve built a Unified Verification API that consolidates your verification needs into a single integration point.

With this API, you can choose to verify one or more of the following categories based on your use case:

• Income

• Employment

• Identity

• Reputation

Instead of stitching together separate workflows, you can trigger any combination of these checks through the same API—giving you flexibility without added complexity.

A single webhook response, multiple signals

What makes the Unified API even more powerful is how results are delivered.

Rather than handling multiple callbacks or asynchronous responses from different verification services, the Unified API returns outcomes for one or more verification categories through a single webhook response.

This simplifies backend orchestration and makes downstream processing far easier.

For engineering teams, this translates to:

• Fewer integrations to build and maintain

• Cleaner, more predictable workflow logic

• Faster development, testing, and deployment cycles

Yes—this is the kind of simplification your engineers genuinely appreciate.

Faster access to ex-employment records

In addition to unifying verification categories, we’re also accelerating access to ex-employment records, with responses available in as little as 30 seconds.

This enables teams to:

• Validate past employment quickly

• Reduce delays during onboarding and underwriting

• Make faster decisions without waiting on manual checks

All of this fits seamlessly into the same unified verification flow.

Why this matters

These updates are designed to remove friction at both the technical and operational layers.

With the Unified Verification API, businesses benefit from:

• Reduced integration complexity across verification workflows

• Faster verification turnaround times

• Greater flexibility in designing and evolving user journeys

• A scalable foundation for future verification and data needs

By unifying verification categories under a single API and simplifying how results are consumed, Tartan helps teams spend less time on plumbing—and more time building reliable, high-conversion products.
