Checkr Acquires Truv to Expand Mortgage, Government Verification

Checkr provides identity and background verification used by businesses making employment and other high-stakes decisions. Truv adds consumer-permissioned access to payroll and financial-account data, enabling lenders and agencies to verify income and assets. Such direct data connections are becoming more important as generative AI makes forged documents and identity fraud easier to produce, raising the cost of relying on conventional paperwork.

Checkr announced the acquisition of Truv to deepen its position in mortgage verification and enter government-benefits eligibility checks. The combination will broaden Checkr beyond its core screening operations and accelerate its shift toward a data platform supporting high-risk decisions. The companies did not disclose the purchase price, the announcement date, an expected closing date or other financial terms in the information provided.
