What is an International Credit Check?
An Overseas Credit Check, also known as Multinational Financial Check, is a type of pre-employment background check (employment verification) that employers can conduct on potential or existing employees for sensitive positions, particularly those involving money and funds.
With our global financial pre-employment screening, you can obtain all of the information you require about the candidate from anywhere in the world.
Why are credit checks done for employment?

- Annual financial statements
- Rating revisions
- Notifications of negative credit
- Mentions in the media
- Changes in the company's status
