How do I set up Credit Credentials?
A step-by-step guide for system admins to set up credit credentials.
- Companies have a choice between 3 credit options.
- Company - Everyone uses one set of credentials to pull credit at the company level
- User - Each user has their own set of credentials entered into their profile. See the notes section below for related articles.
- Company or User - Provides an option for companies to use both company and user credentials. Some use cases for these options are:
- Companies that sponsor their users for hard credit pulls but want their users to pay for their soft pulls and vice versa.
- The credit vendor's procedure for running AUS includes separate credentials than that to pull the credit report. See the notes section below for related articles.
- Some credit vendors have one set of credentials for both soft-pull and hard-pull (Xactus, CoreLogic). If you do not see separate fields for hard/soft pull credentials your credit vendor uses one set of credentials for both.
