Why do I need to verify my identity with Experian?
To protect against fraud, federal rules require identity verification for high-risk one-time payments like prorated rent and security deposits.
Experian is a trusted partner that helps us complete this verification quickly and safely.
Will this process affect my credit score?
No. Verifying your identity through Experian will not affect your credit score. It is not a credit inquiry and is used only for identity verification.
Is my personal information safe during this process?
Yes. Your information is encrypted and securely handled by both us and Experian. We do not store your answers, and your data is never sold or shared with marketers.
Why are the questions about my personal or financial history?
These questions are based on information from your credit file that only you should know. This ensures that only you can complete the verification, helping keep your account secure.
