These checks can be requested individually or combined based on the role, industry, or level of financial responsibility involved.
How does WorkPro’s Credit History Check work?
WorkPro’s Credit History Check searches the relevant credit bureau database in Australia or New Zealand, depending on the check requested. The result can include credit-related information such as bankruptcy records, court judgements, and summons data, subject to the scope of the source database.
What information is included in a Bankruptcy Check?

How does WorkPro verify financial regulatory status
WorkPro verifies financial regulatory status by checking relevant regulatory and government sources. Depending on the check type, this may include reviewing whether a person appears in records relating to bans, disqualifications, or other regulatory actions connected to financial services activity.
What does a Global Sanctions and Watchlist Check include?
A Global Sanctions and Watchlist Check searches selected sanctions, watchlist, and politically exposed person (PEP) databases. This can support screening processes where organisations need visibility over records relevant to financial crime risk, sanctions exposure, or related compliance obligations.

Turnaround times can vary depending on the type of Financial or Business Check requested and the external source involved. Some results may be returned quickly, while others may depend on source availability and processing time.
Can I track checks in real time?
Yes. WorkPro provides dashboard visibility for submitted checks, allowing teams to monitor progress from request through to completion. Status updates are available within the platform as the check moves through the workflow.
Are the results independently verified?
