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
