Isn't most bank or credit card companies do that to check if you are capable of paying them back?0

Just curious to know if its usual for a credit card or loan company to call your employer after making an application to confirm certain details made on the application like length of service or income?
Would any special authorisation need to be given for them to be able to do this or does this happen anyway just by making the application?
I'm not in the market myself for any credit but i'm just curious...

Hi, if its any help I have worked as a Payroll Manager for 9 years and this kind of request would be directed to me. I have provided information for Mortgage Applicants a few times but have never been asked to provide employment info for someone applying for a Credit Card or Loan.0
