Social Security Number Field

Written By David Watson

Last updated 3 months ago

Overview

You can now add and securely view Social Security Numbers (SSNs) for both the client and co-applicant directly in the Risk Profile and client record. The SSN is masked by default and requires re-authentication to view or edit. This ensures compliance and minimizes risk while giving your team access when needed.

SSNs are stored encrypted
