Employee Fingerprint Service

Your Direct Connection to the FBI Database

Financial institutions have an obligation to check the backgrounds of potential employees. The Clearing House Employee Fingerprint Service provides institutions with an all-electronic solution to quickly, reliably and economically conduct searches using the FBI’s national fingerprint database.

Financial institutions of any size can sign up for the Employee Fingerprint Service and pay a low, per-transaction fee for each fingerprint review. Results are electronically transmitted directly to your institution within 24 hours.

How It Works

Financial institutions create a digital image of an applicant’s fingerprints using ink on cards or a flatbed scanner. The data file is then transmitted electronically via the Clearing House’s direct connection to the FBI’s national fingerprint database. Results can often be directly transmitted to your institution electronically within minutes. It’s that simple.
