I got approved for DCU early this month and I did send my pay slips from the last 2 months to them, with the most recent one being a few days before the date of the email. I don't recall ever providing a work phone number to them. I did the loan application by phone and answered all their questions right then, and got approved after we went through their whole process (it was a lengthy phone conversation -- 30-40 mins). She only put me on hold for a brief moment (I guess to pull my credit report) and I doubt she would have called my place of work at that point. I complied with the request for the pay slips and sent them after we hung up and the next day, I saw that the credit card (which I also got approved for) was already in my bank login. I would try applying by phone, that way if they have questions, you can answer them right away! Good luck!
