Why it matters

Financial responsibility requires extra security

Employees with access to finances, purchasing or sensitive assets represent a particular risk. Credit checks give you fact-based insight where legislation permits, always with consent.

  • Only where legal basis exists

    When conducting a credit check, it's important to have a legitimate interest so that the candidate's rights and data protection are safeguarded. This provides the basis for obtaining a credit check, and we make the entire process simple and transparent for everyone involved.

  • Supports your candidate assessment

    With a credit check, you get better insight into how the candidate will fit into the role and your team.

  • Fully consent-based

    The candidate is clearly informed about what is being checked and why. Consent is obtained digitally and logged.

Frequently asked questions

Is it lawful to credit check job applicants?

Only when the position actually involves financial responsibility, and only on candidates in the final stage of the process. The Data Protection Authority has issued fines to organisations that have conducted credit checks without valid grounds. Credit checking all applicants for all positions is not lawful.

Does the candidate know that a credit check is being carried out?

Yes. The candidate consents digitally before the check begins and sees which checks are being carried out. In addition, the credit reference agency sends a separate notification letter to the person being checked.
