Credas Right to Work vs EmploymentCheck Right to Work Check

Credas Right to Work provides online and remote checks for employers and recruitment agencies hiring in the UK. It uses real-time facial recognition to compare an identity document with the person completing a check, and lists biometric NFC chip reading and integrated anti-fraud checks. Credas says it connects with the UK Government’s online Right to Work checking system and supports eVisas and online immigration status checks. Checks can be completed in an app or browser, with API options for systems including CRM, case management, learning management, websites, and client onboarding. For checks through a certified Identity Service Provider, the product FAQ says only a current British or Irish passport is accepted. Credas verifies identity as an IDSP; the employer must review the result and determine the individual’s right to work. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is offered without a stated duration. Credas says captured data is encrypted and held on UK-based enterprise cloud servers, and lists ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.
