To verify your income, we utilize a third-party provider, PayScore, to collect deposit history directly from your bank. PayScore requires your permission and participation, which you grant by securely logging in to your bank. Rest assured, PayScore only routes, never retains, your sensitive credentials. Your participation allows for the most comprehensive assessment of your total income.

It's crucial to log in to your primary deposit account for accurate income assessment. Logging into other accounts, such as your credit account, will not provide income data when using PayScore.

With our system, you'll share less information upfront compared to the traditional method of sharing pay stubs and bank statements. We recognize that sharing sensitive financial details can feel daunting. That's why we prioritize your privacy and security, utilizing a third-party provider, PayScore, to handle the process.

Our online income verification system is built with your privacy in mind. It employs 256-bit encryption, the same level of security used by your bank. Your usernames and passwords are never displayed, viewed, or stored. This approach ensures the safest, fastest, and most convenient way for you to submit information for review and approval by Hometown Management.

Payscore partners with 99% of all financial institutions in North America. Accordingly, PayScore is held to stringent security standards to meet policy requirements for those institutions.

Their system is designed specifically to maintain and enhance your privacy and security, using 256‐bit encryption.

Never. Your ID and password are never displayed or viewed. Only encrypted credentials are transferred to your financial institution. If your credentials are correct, we will receive a “read‐only” copy of your transaction data, allowing us to receive income reports and accelerate the approval process for your application.
