Tartan’s Product Update — December 2021

First things first—welcome to 2022! 🎉

2021 marked the founding year of TartanHQ, and as we close out our first action-packed year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the milestones, product launches, and progress that shaped our journey.

It’s been an intense six months of building, shipping, learning, and iterating—and we’re excited to share a snapshot of what December 2021 looked like at Tartan.

Tartan — Six Month Review

It has been a dream run so far, and December capped off our first year with some meaningful progress across coverage, product, and ecosystem expansion. Let’s dive into the key highlights.

Expanding Employer Coverage

One of our core focus areas has been expanding employee and employer coverage—and we’re happy to report strong momentum here.

In December, we added 150+ new employers to our Sync Journey for direct, integration-based verification. This includes large, established organizations such as Crisil and TransUnion, as well as fast-growing startups like Shipsy, ClassPlus, and BankBazaar, among others.

With this expansion, our total employer coverage has now crossed 1,500+ employers, significantly strengthening our ability to support income and employment verification at scale.

Major Product Release

Plug & Play API Solution Is Now Live

As part of our ongoing effort to simplify income and employment verification, we’ve officially launched our Plug & Play API solution.

Over the last few weeks, we piloted this solution with 20+ customers, and we’re now live with our first production customer.

The solution includes WebView and iFrame–based embedded journeys, allowing users to complete income and employment verification directly within the client’s application flow—without redirects or manual intervention.

What this enables for our clients

• Significant reduction in applicant onboarding time

• Faster and more reliable verification outcomes

• Lower turnaround time (TAT) for underwriting and loan disbursals

• Reduced drop-offs during the verification stage

• Lower operational costs and reduced manual effort

This embedded approach ensures verification happens seamlessly, at the right moment in the user journey.

Major Feature Release

Download Payslips as Normalized Data

We’ve also rolled out a major enhancement around payslip access and normalization.

• Payslip downloads are now available directly via the Tartan dashboard

• API-based payslip downloads will be available soon

• Tartan will enable payslip access via Webhook responses through our API modules

Clients will be able to retrieve normalized payslip data even when verification is embedded directly into their websites or mobile apps—making document handling cleaner, faster, and more structured.

API Documentation Is Now Live

As a fintech infrastructure company, we know how critical a developer-first experience is.

That’s why we’ve launched our API documentation, designed to help teams build faster and integrate with confidence.

Developers can expect:

• Clear explanations of API functionality

• Usage guidelines and integration flows

• Updates across the API lifecycle

Early access to documentation is now open—developers can request access by filling out our form and start building with us.

Batik’s Brand New Website Is Live

We’re also excited to announce the launch of Batik’s new website.

Through Batik, we enable employers to link their payroll accounts and offer customizable benefits to employees. Today, Batik supports:

• 17+ products across insurance, finance, health cards, and more

• 100+ brands in coupon and rewards categories

In addition to existing partners like Kenko, Ucare, and CouponDunia, we’re going live with 10 new products, including:

• Eduvanz — BNPL for Apple products and EMI options for Revolt EVs

• HomeCapital — Down payment assistance and personal loan products

• XPCover — Hospicash, critical illness, and super top-up insurance
