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?
Employers want to know that your financial situation will not affect your work performance and that you will not pose a risk when dealing with money or confidential material. A credit check on potential or existing workers is required by law for law firms and finance firms.
A credit check for employment can have an impact on your job search. The credit report may contain some of the following information:
- Annual financial statements
- Rating revisions
- Notifications of negative credit
- Mentions in the media
- Changes in the company's status
- County Court Decisions
- Director alterations
- Credit limit adjustments
