Payroll and Super Check

Payroll Check API

POST
/payroll_check
LIVE

Validates a person's identity against Australian payroll records. Each input field comes back as MATCHED or UNMATCHED (name, date of birth, middle name, address, email, phone, employer ABN). Gives you a useful employment-data signal for KYC, particularly for thin-file individuals who don't have a credit history yet.

Technical Use Cases tag

work

KYC for thin-file customers

Younger customers and recent migrants often lack a credit history but do have a payroll trail. A payroll match gives them a verifiable identity path without needing credit data.

account_balance

Income verification

Confirm a stated employer when underwriting lending, BNPL, rental applications or anything else where employment is part of the affordability picture.

policy

Multi-factor identity assurance

Combine a payroll check with DVS and credit data to reach high-assurance identity verification without single-point-of-failure on any one dataset.

Trust & Assurance

Compliance & Security tag

Enterprise-grade infrastructure audited against the standards your regulators require.

Common Questions tag

Everything you need to know about implementation details and compliance infrastructure.

gavel Compliance

Is explicit consent required?

add

consent: true is required. The endpoint won’t proceed without the individual’s consent to search payroll records.

rocket_launch Implementation

What's the minimum data for a match?

add

First name, last name, date of birth, and consent. Any additional fields you supply (middle name, address, email, phone, employer ABN) are evaluated independently and returned as MATCHED or UNMATCHED.

help_center General

Does this give me payroll figures or income amounts?

add

No. The response is binary match status per field only. It tells you whether the identity details match a payroll record. It doesn’t disclose any financial detail.
