Argyle is a remote-first, Series C startup solving a consumer data problem.

For decades, financial service providers and other businesses have collected and verified consumer income and employment data the same way: by hand or via verification databases. These methods are expensive, time consuming, high friction, and/or unreliable. In turn, experiences like applying for a loan or completing a background check are challenging for service providers and consumers alike.

The solution is Argyle. We’re the leading provider of direct-source, consumer-permissioned income and employment verifications. We make it fast and easy to gain secure and reliable access to the most complete real-time datasets stored in consumers’ payroll accounts, so service providers can automate verification workflows, save time, reduce risks, lower costs, and build better product experiences.

Named one of America’s Best Startup Employers of 2025 by Forbes, Argyle largely serves the mortgage, personal lending, tenant screening, and background check industries as well as the gig economy. Argyle is also an authorized report supplier for Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter® validation service, a component of Day 1 Certainty®, and Freddie Mac’s Asset and Income Modeler (AIM), part of Loan Product Advisor℠.

Founded in 2018, Argyle completed its Series C funding round in 2024 and has raised over $100 million in capital.
