Hey there,

At Tartan, we’re big believers in sprinting toward meaningful product improvements. Our team is constantly working behind the scenes to make verification journeys simpler, faster, and more intuitive—while also improving how they look and feel for end users.

This month, we’re excited to share an update that significantly expands who businesses can serve and how confidently they can assess income and employment.

Holistic Verification with Tartan

Income & Employment verification for Salaried, Gig, and Freelance workers

We’ve expanded Tartan’s verification capabilities to support the full spectrum of modern earners.

In addition to salaried professionals, Tartan now enables Income and Employment verification for Gig workers and Freelancers—bringing these segments into the fold with the same level of depth and reliability.

This means businesses can now access impactful, decision-ready data points across:

• Salaried employees

• Gig economy workers

• Freelancers and independent professionals

All through a unified verification experience.

What does this mean for you?

Until now, many financial products were designed primarily for salaried users due to the availability of structured income data. That limitation is now removed.

With Tartan, you can:

• Extend lending, insurance, and financial services beyond salaried users

• Confidently onboard Gig workers and Freelancers

• Serve users across platforms such as Zomato, Swiggy, Freelancer, Upwork, and more

This opens access to a massive, fast-growing segment that was previously underserved due to lack of verifiable income signals.

Deeper insights into how they work and earn

Beyond basic verification, Tartan provides rich work and income intelligence for Gig and Freelance users, including:

• Job and engagement trends

• Daily or periodic earning patterns

• Tips and incentives

• Regions and geographies served

You also gain access to reputation-based data points, helping you assess reliability and consistency:

• Ratings

• Completion rate

• Repeat rate

• Total orders or jobs completed

These signals help build a more complete picture of an individual’s earning stability and work behavior—crucial for better risk assessment and product personalization.

Why this matters

• Broader customer reach without compromising risk controls

• More inclusive financial product offerings

• Better underwriting decisions powered by real work data

• A single verification partner across diverse earning profiles
