What Are Verification Questions About?

Modified on Fri, 8 Nov at 10:57 AM


To help verify your identity, Experian (or a similar credit bureau) generates security questions based on personal information specific to you. These questions are designed to confirm your identity securely and accurately.

Example Verification Questions:

  • What was your first job?
  • What high school did you attend?
  • What city did you previously live in?
  • Which bank or institution held your last loan or credit account?
  • What year did you open your first bank account?


Take a moment to recall details before answering, and ensure you select the correct answer within the two-minute time limit. This helps ensure that responses are immediate and accurate.
