Powens connects directly to Mexico’s Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS). The user authenticates with their CURP (Mexican personal ID number), and Powens retrieves their official employment and income data — including salary history, employer records, and social security contributions — in a structured, digital format ready for integration into your application

Data is retrieved in real time directly from the IMSS government system — not from cached databases or user-uploaded documents. This eliminates the risk of forged or outdated payslips and ensures that income and employment information reflects the latest official records.

Employment Verification data provides verified salary history, employment stability (tenure with current and past employers), and contribution regularity — all of which are strong predictors of repayment capacity. This is especially valuable in Mexico where many borrowers have thin credit bureau files. Lenders can use IMSS data alongside or in place of traditional credit scoring to expand lending to underserved segments while controlling risk.

Yes. Powens delivers Employment Verification data through its standard REST API in structured JSON format. Employment records, salary figures and contribution histories are returned as normalised data fields that can plug directly into your scoring engine, CRM, or back-office system without manual parsing.
