Employment 360 vs Equifax Identity Matching

Employment 360 is Cashfree Payments’ employee background verification solution, checking employment details against EPFO databases. Businesses can submit a phone number, UAN, PAN or combinations of those inputs. Results may include a person's name, gender, UAN, phone number and masked Aadhaar details, plus latest and past employer information such as member ID, establishment ID, relieving date and registered employer name. Additional returned data may include phone number, email address, bank account and IFSC code. The product page describes retrieval as real-time and says the end user does not need to intervene. Businesses can work through a dashboard or integrate the developer-friendly API into their own platform; API documentation is linked from the product page. Cashfree lists banks and NBFCs, lending, background checks and employee onboarding as use cases. Coverage is domestic, the source is government data, and typical turnaround is instant. Cashfree launched in 2015. Its privacy policy lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022, PCI-DSS v4.0.1 and SOC 2 standards and certifications, and notes that no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure.

Equifax Identity Matching links customer information held in disconnected sources, including records where names or addresses differ. It assigns persistent consumer identifiers and can create consumer, household, and address keys, helping organizations form a single customer view. Equifax says it compares multiple datasets and data-element combinations, and can combine company records with consumer credit and specialty finance data. Matching and updates are described as cloud-based and near real time, with incremental key changes available through delta services. Delivery options include batch services, an online API, and cloud-native Keying as a Service in Snowflake or Google Cloud Platform BigQuery environments. Confidential Keying keeps raw personal information in a customer cloud environment. Data is encrypted and tokenized, usage is regulated by GLBA, and processes are regularly validated. OAuth 2.0 client credentials secure APIs; production access requires credentials and whitelisted IP addresses. Pricing is on request.
