Verio provides consent-based financial verification services designed to help education providers and other organisations assess financial information more securely and efficiently.
Where financial verification services are provided, authorised financial information is only accessed or processed following the consent required under applicable law. Depending on the jurisdiction and the applicant’s age, this consent may be provided by the applicant or, where required, by a parent, legal guardian or another person authorised to provide consent.

As Verio operates internationally, personal information may be processed in countries other than the country in which it was collected.
Where cross-border transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place and that information is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
9. Third-Party Providers
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to support our website, communications, hosting and financial verification services.
Where authorised financial data is obtained through regulated third-party providers or other approved data sources, those providers will process information in accordance with their own legal obligations and privacy policies.
