The application asked for my SSN and My banking log in and password. WAY TOO INTRUSIVE!!! I fail to understand why you need my banking log in information. I submitted the necessary documents that should be enough. How will Redirent protect my information and prevent identity theft?

Hi there Dan, We understand why being asked for sensitive information like your SSN or bank login details would feel concerning. In some cases, landlords partner with TransUnion to complete a background screening to review your credit, eviction, and criminal history. We also partner with Plaid for income verification, which is optional within the platform. If you prefer to send bank statements to your future landlord, you have the option to bypass that portion of the application and specify your reasoning. Protecting personal information is something we take seriously, and we work with established third-party providers that use encrypted, secure systems for verification and payments. These tools allow property managers confirm applicant details securely and reduce fraud risk. Our support team can walk you through the bypass option, and confirm why certain information may be requested in your specific application and what alternatives may be available. Please reach out through live chat so we can help directly. If we’re able to resolve your concerns, we’d appreciate you considering an update to your review. [email protected] (646) 741-9393
