The short answer
The registry records Checkr as a possible interpretation of CHECKR, INC. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why am I being charged by Checkr?
Unreviewed registry note: A transaction labeled CHECKR, INC on your statement comes from Checkr, Inc., an employment screening and candidate verification service. Employers and staffing agencies rely on Checkr to run criminal history reports and motor vehicle driving records. If you manage hiring for a business or hold an administrative role with corporate purchasing privileges, this entry indicates screening reports ordered for prospective hires or active contractors.
Unreviewed registry note: For corporate accounts, Checkr bills on a monthly cycle based on the aggregate volume of applicant screenings submitted during the preceding billing period. Another common scenario involves individual job seekers or renters who order a personal background check through Checkr's consumer portal to share directly with prospective landlords. In addition, when an account manager links a fresh credit card to a corporate dashboard, the platform may generate a temporary authorization hold of around one dollar that reverses within a few business days.
Unreviewed registry note: If you manage company expenses, review your internal dashboard under the billing tab to match candidate names against the invoice total. When this line item appears on an individual personal card without any connection to hiring or tenant screening, contact your financial institution to report potential card theft. Unfamiliar software and verification fees often stem from shared corporate credentials or unauthorized card usage across corporate billing portals.
