Checkr has acquired Truv to expand its identity verification capabilities in the mortgage and government sectors. The deal strengthens Checkr's mortgage business and marks its entry into government through benefits eligibility verifications. Truv serves mortgage industry clients and state agencies administering social services programmes. The acquisition builds on Checkr's recent expansion into mortgage, tenant and personal verification solutions. Checkr CEO Daniel Yanisse said the company aims to build a single platform helping businesses, government agencies and individuals navigate verification with greater accuracy and speed. Truv CEO Kirill Klokov said the combined entity will bring trusted data to more organisations whilst improving experiences for people affected by high-stakes decisions. The move comes as AI-powered fraud increases demand for stronger identity and income verification systems.

Argyle and The BIG Point of Sale named 2026 Connections Award winners by PROGRESS in Lending. Recognized for embedding payroll-based VOIE directly into the mortgage origination workflow through ICE Mortgage Technology's Encompass Partner Connect. NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., July 22, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) - Argyle, the leading consumer-permissioned verification platform, and The BIG Point of Sale today announced they have been named winners of the 2026 Connections Award by PROGRESS in Lending. The award honors the most impactful partnerships, integrations and acquisitions advancing the mortgage industry, recognizing the companies for an integration that embeds verification of income and employment (VOIE) directly into the loan origination process through ICE Mortgage Technology's Encompass Partner Connect(R) framework.

"Being named a Connections Award winner alongside Argyle validates the approach we've taken from day one: verification should happen where the loan is actually originated, not as a separate step borrowers and processors have to manage on the side," said Jerry Melia, president at The BIG Point of Sale. "This recognition reflects the work our team has put into making that experience feel seamless for lenders and borrowers alike." "Argyle empowers consumers to securely share data directly from their payroll and other income-related accounts with authorized lenders," said John Hardesty, senior vice president of revenue at Argyle. "Lenders can embed income and employment verification directly into The BIG Point of Sale, accessing direct-source data earlier in the process and eliminating the manual back-and-forth that has historically slowed things down for borrowers and operations teams." Income and employment verification has historically been one of the more manual, time-consuming and expensive parts of the mortgage process. Borrowers are typically required to locate and upload paystubs, W-2s and other documentation, while lenders spend additional time chasing missing information, following up and re-entering data across systems. With Argyle, The BIG Point of Sale integration changes that by making verification a natural part of the borrower application experience. Loan officers can initiate VOIE requests from The BIG Point of Sale on any device during or after the application process. Borrowers can easily share their real-time income and employment data through consumer-directed payroll connections - no document uploads required. After completing the Argyle connection flow, required data including VOIE, paystubs and W-2s is returned in real time and automatically posted to the Encompass eFolder through native Encompass Partner Connect functionality and workflow automation rules. The integration also supports GSE-eligible verification data and reference IDs within the same workflow. As an authorized supplier for Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter(R) validation service and an approved service provider for Freddie Mac's Loan Product Advisor(R) asset and income modeler (AIM), Argyle enables lenders to access direct-source data and GSE reference IDs without leaving the point-of-sale environment or reordering a VOIE through separate systems. The business impact of the integration is already visible in the field. Since embedding Argyle into the borrower workflow within The BIG Point of Sale, Absolute Home Mortgage increased its automated verification success rate from 10% to 48%. The lender reduced reliance on processor intervention and manual borrower follow-up while improving file completeness entering underwriting - with nearly half of loans submitted for underwriting already including paystubs and W-2s synced through Fannie Mae's Day 1 Certainty(R) framework. Key benefits lenders gain through the integration: * Speed: Payroll-connected VOIE data arrives in Encompass in real time, reducing delays between application and underwriting. * Cost reduction: Automated payroll-based VOIE can significantly reduce verification costs compared to legacy database-driven services. * GSE support: Lenders can qualify for representations and warranties relief through the same workflow, helping reduce repurchase risk exposure. * Better borrower experience: Borrowers complete verification from a mobile device in minutes rather than gathering and submitting paper documents.
