We've made in-product support more easily discoverable for applicants by adding a clear 'Help' icon present across all screens in the Konfir applicant journey. When clicked, this icon launches our support widget, where applicants can chat to support or browse help center articles. This helps us deliver support more clearly at the point of need, improving verification conversion and improving the applicant experience.
We've added a support widget directly into Konsole. Verifiers can now ask questions, learn about Konfir's capabilities, and speak to a member of our support team without leaving the Konsole.
We've improved the reliability of bank connections for applicants using Safari Private Browsing. Previously a small number of applicants could connect their bank but remain on the connecting screen, meaning their results weren't sent to the verifier. Connections now complete and move the applicant on as expected.
You can now assess whether an applicant’s verified annual income meets a required minimum income threshold using Konfir’s Income Affordability Checks. When enabled and requested with the Affordability object including in your Create Verification request, Konfir evaluates verified income from sources including Open Banking, Payroll and HMRC and returns a clear affordability assessment via the GET Affordability endpoint. To learn more about Affordability Checks and how to enable them for your organisation, please contact product@konfir.com.
The activity status previously shown as Not connected has been updated to Not verified, with clearer explanations in Konsole to help verifiers understand what the status means and what action to take.
The Konsole user list now includes a Role column, making it clear whether users are admins, verifiers, or pending access.
Admins can now promote existing users to admin directly from the Konsole user list, making it easier to manage access and permissions.
Admins can now set the SMS sender name for their organisation, so applicants receive SMS notifications from a recognisable name. If not set, it defaults to Konfir. The sender name supports up to 11 characters.
Users who require admin approval can now see the email address of their organisation’s admin on the approval screen, making it easier to follow up if needed.
Admins can now customise the applicant journey directly in Konsole, applying their organisation’s branding for a more consistent and recognisable experience. This includes the logo, theme and content that applicants will see when completing the journey.
Admins can now review and approve or reject user access requests directly in Konsole. Pending users are clearly shown at the top of the user list, making access requests easier to track and quicker to resolve.
Organisations can now have MFA enabled on their accounts, requiring users to set up a TOTP authenticator app during first login and enter a verification code on each sign in. MFA can be configured per organisation by account admins under "Settings" without affecting others.
Admins can now cancel pending user invitations that have not yet been accepted. Cancelled invites are immediately invalidated and removed from the pending invites section, ensuring they can no longer be used.
Income verification results now include tax data from HMRC, showing tax paid in the current tax year and over the last 12 months
Self employed applicants are now prompted to select their self employment type from a set of options before continuing.
Address fields are now limited to 50 characters to prevent errors.
All reference PDFs now include a link to the Understanding Verification page for easier access to guidance.
Our refreshed help center has been launched and is available on https://help.konfir.com/
Konsole now includes quick links to What’s New, Resources, and Submit Feedback, making it easier to access key information and support.
The Konsole verification page now loads faster, improving performance for all users.
