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

Say no to fraudsters!

We have improved our Fraud Check Model and are now better equipped to do away with people who mean no business with you. Our model can now prevent Payslip Tampering and can also do an Employer Check to find whether the employer exists with MCA or not. This will help in weeding out unnecessary leads or malicious actors.

PIN Code: Magnified

Data points around the Address of an end-user are always important and relevant. But more than often, the data here is a little confusing and messy. But not anymore. 

We now enable individual and structured data points around addresses spread across regions, districts, and states. All this is done by extracting PIN Code from the addresses received. This means you can directly ingest these into your models without spending any time on internal data cleaning and segregation.

Accept customers with more confidence

Customers with different profiles reach out to you on a daily basis. It can be really difficult to build a solution that caters to all, but thankfully, Tartan understands the pain.  

We continuously improve our solution to cover varied customer profiles. We have built processes that identify genuine customers with the highest accuracy, which means that you can now accept more applications with higher confidence.  

What does this mean for you? Better Customer Management, Higher Acceptance Rate, and Reduced Customer Acquisition Cost. Convinced? We could go on.

The Extensibility of Income and Employment Verifications

The conventional manner of verification involves a couple of phone calls and an exchange of emails which becomes a cumbersome and broken process as the volumes of such verifications increase, which raises eyebrows in the era of digitalization!
