Checkr announces it has acquired Truv, a provider of consumer-permissioned income, employment, and asset verification, to expand Checkr’s verification platform. The deal signals Checkr’s entry into government verification while also strengthening its mortgage-related offerings, according to the company’s announcement.
PR Newswire and PYMNTS both report that the acquisition is meant to broaden the types of verification available through Checkr’s platform. PYMNTS adds that Checkr’s expanded offerings over the past year now include verification solutions for mortgages, tenant screening, and personal use cases, alongside the new government focus.
While both outlets describe the same acquisition and general product expansion, the emphasis differs: PR Newswire highlights the government verification entry and the mortgage business, whereas PYMNTS frames the purchase as a step toward expanding identity verification capabilities across mortgage and government scenarios.
