Informative Research adds Halcyon integration to verification platform

Informative Research, a provider of credit and verification solutions to the mortgage lending community, announced on Monday the availability of Halcyon’s IRS tax transcript service within Informative Research‘s verification platform.

The enhancement expands Informative Research’s suite of income verification and employment verification options, enabling lenders to access secure, permissioned tax transcript data directly from the IRS through Halcyon’s technology.

“This collaboration not only marks a significant step forward in our partnership with Halcyon, but it also enhances our platform’s ability to support lender verification strategies with precision and efficiency,” said Steve Schulz, executive vice president for Informative Research.

“By incorporating IRS-sourced income data, we’re giving lenders another powerful, automated tool for verifying borrower income, thus streamlining the process while maintaining compliance and confidence.”

The move builds on Informative Research’s previously established partnership with Halcyon, announced in May 2025, which added AccountChek consumer-permissioned payroll data to Halcyon’s Income Analyzer.

With Halcyon now integrated into the Informative Research verification platform, lenders can automate income validation, align with investor requirements for representation and warranty relief, and simplify parts of the loan workflow using verified income data.

“Making our IRS transcript solution available through Informative Research is a powerful step forward,” Halcyon CEO Kirk Donaldson said. “We’re helping lenders reduce friction, increase compliance, and move closer to a fully automated income verification experience.”
