Tartan’s Product Update — September 2022

Hey there,

Welcome back to our September product update! We’re excited to share the progress we’ve made over the past month and the momentum we’re building together.

We’re happy to report that we welcomed 648 new subscribers this month, taking our active newsletter community to 1,878 readers who are closely tracking Tartan’s product evolution. Thank you for being part of this growing ecosystem.

Before we dive in, here’s a quick recap of what Tartan is building.

Tartan is creating read-and-write data rails across Payroll and Work platform APIs, enabling reliable income and employment verification while also supporting seamless product distribution on the same platforms. This infrastructure is designed to reduce friction, improve data trust, and unlock access across a wide range of financial and employment-linked use cases.

Now, let’s get into what’s new.

Launch of PII Data Verification APIs

Save time through faster, unified verification

This month, we launched our PII Data Verification API suite, built to help businesses verify user identity, income, and employment information more efficiently.

Customers can now plug and play Tartan’s PII stack APIs, which include:

• Payroll APIs

• Payslip APIs

• Work History APIs

By using a unified verification stack, businesses can eliminate the need for multiple vendors, reduce integration complexity, and onboard end users faster with fewer manual steps.

Why this matters

Traditional verification workflows are often fragmented—each data point sourced from a different partner, stitched together through custom logic. Tartan’s PII APIs consolidate these workflows into a single, consistent integration, enabling:

• Faster verification turnaround times

• Reduced dependency on multiple third-party providers

• Cleaner, more reliable identity and employment signals

• Lower operational overhead for onboarding and underwriting teams

Digital Work Platform APIs

Verifying income and employment across diverse user segments

Tartan’s Digital Work Platform APIs go beyond traditional employment data. In addition to standard data points, they provide access to 70+ alternate data signals, allowing businesses to evaluate users with non-linear or unconventional work histories.

This enables customers to extend credit and services confidently across segments such as:

• Salaried professionals

• Freelancers

• New-to-credit individuals

• Gig and platform workers

By widening data coverage, these APIs help businesses reach underserved segments while maintaining strong verification standards.

What this unlocks

• Broader customer coverage without increasing risk

• Faster onboarding across varied employment profiles

• More inclusive credit and financial product distribution

• A unified foundation for employment-linked decisioning

B2B Bulk Onboarding within a minute

Many B2B companies have a huge dependency on HR/Admin to provide data of employees’ behalf during their onboarding - Manual interventions, countless emails which add friction to the employees overall onboarding process.

Using our Payroll APIs - Automate and make the Bulk Onboarding seamless with the employee/employers/both consent-driven approach - thus taking care of the compliance issues along the way.

Coverage

We have built new payroll integrations with which our employers’ coverage has increased by around 38K+ employers which cover around 25.3M+ employees.  

Our customers are in a better position to use alternate data and traditional data-points to serve more and more consumers.

Revamping API Documentation

Integration with our APIs has been made easier with this update. Additional data points like gratuity status have been added with which our customers in the lending and insurance segment can compute:

• The accurate net worth of the consumer.

• The amount due payable to them with which our customers can customize and provide better loan/policy offers to their consumers.

Spreading the Tartan wings  

We participated at Global Fintech Fest and Delhi Fintech Meetup which gathered some of the most influential Fintech experts, top businesses, and startups from all across India.

At the event, our CEO and Founder, Pramey Jain, took center stage alongside fellow Fintech founders and engaged in insightful discussions on “Using Digital to Tap the Untapped Credit Market.”

The events witnessed conversations, keynotes, booth exhibitions and tech talks fuelled by the agenda to make Fintech future-ready from industry executives and experts cutting across banking, and finance.

It was a big win for Tartan as we received an amazing response for our solution, saw an influx of hundreds of fintech professionals at our booth, and placed over 50 demo calls all in a week’s time.
