The bureau will help employers to verify and authenticate the employment details of the talent pool.
MFIN's chief executive officer, Ratna Vishwanathan, said, at present, NBFC-MFI industry consists of nearly 80,000 employees and there is a lot of cross movement of the staff
especially at the field level, with very little formal background and employment verifications.
"To address this, we have partnered with Equifax to create and implement the employee bureau. This database will have non-finance information, that is, excluding salary information of all employees of participating MFIs with a unique key identifier to allow on boarding of employees," she said in a statement today.

The database is expected to provide comprehensive information across levels of hierarchy of members of MFIs.
Currently, there are thirty institutions which have agreed to incorporate this hiring technology and have signed up with Equifax.
These institutions have updated their data network and are equipped with a robust system to track and maintain the employee database, it said.
