Circular 04 of 2019: Access to Consumer Credit Information for Employment Purposes

Registered credit bureaus must require written consent from prospective employees and a job description clearly outlining requirements for dealing with cash or finances before accessing consumer credit records for recruitment purposes. This requirement applies to employment agencies, recruitment consultants, staffing companies, and employers seeking such information. Failure to obtain these documents constitutes a contravention of the National Credit Act.
