Background checks, verified at the source.
Most background check vendors still rely on what candidates type into a form. Ethur connects directly to payroll providers, banks, and biometric ID — so every report is triple-verified, AI-fraud-proof, and ready to defend.
80+ payroll providers. 12,000+ financial institutions.
Direct, consent-based integrations with the systems your candidates already use — no documents, no scraping.
Resumes lie. Payroll and banks don't.
Legacy background checks ask candidates to type their employer, dates, and pay — then phone HR weeks later. Ethur reads it directly from the source so you know who you're hiring before the offer goes out.
- Self-reported employer, dates, and salary
- 5–14 day employment verification
- AI-generated paystubs slipping through
- Static reports that go stale on day one
- Surcharges for every county and add-on
- Payroll-direct employment & income
- Bank-direct deposit confirmation
- Biometric ID matched to payroll name
- Continuous re-verification post-hire
- Flat, transparent per-report pricing
Everything in one report. Nothing self-reported.

Common questions.
How fast are reports?
Most triple-verified reports clear in under 5 minutes. Criminal-only checks return in seconds where instant data is available.
Is this FCRA compliant?
Yes. Ethur is FCRA-compliant out of the box, with built-in pre-adverse and adverse action workflows, dispute handling, and state-level rules engines.
What if a candidate won't link payroll or bank?
We fall back gracefully to document upload + AI review and traditional HR verification. You set the policy per role.
Do you re-screen post-hire?
Yes — payroll, bank, and watchlist signals stay live with consent, alerting you the moment something changes.
