Financial institutions
Stop fraud before it disrupts your business
Checkr helps you verify identities and search criminal records in real time, so you can make confident decisions before risk becomes loss.
KYC isn’t enough to catch real risk
Traditional identity checks tell you who someone is, but that's only one part of the picture. ID checks and watchlists don't surface the context financial institutions need to assess real risk. Checkr adds real-time criminal records to your Know Your Customer (KYC) process and risk stack, so you can make informed risk decisions, stay compliant, and protect revenue.

Checkr powers millions of verifications every month,, drawing on comprehensive criminal, public record, and identity data. It’s high-signal risk intelligence delivered through flexible APIs and tailored to your policies.
