About Truv
Truv’s mission is to put data back in the hands of consumers.
The financial system is largely controlled by credit scores, which create financial inequality by being an inaccurate determination of someone’s ability to repay a loan. Lenders attempt to combat this by collecting income and employment data to augment a traditional credit score.
Unfortunately, the income and employment verification industry has been controlled by an organization who purchases consumer data without consumer permission and resells the data at a profit. The data sold often excludes large portions of the U.S. population and is largely inaccurate.
Truv is on the mission to put data back in the hands of consumers. We believe that consumer permissioned data is a direct path to financial freedom and equality.

Founding Story.
Truv’s Co-Founder & CEO, Kirill Klokov, experienced these struggles firsthand. Kirill immigrated to the U.S. and attended Stanford Business School for his MBA before successfully leading product organizations at several start-ups. The first time that Kirill went to apply for a loan he had a solid, high-paying job … but a 520 credit score. Consequently, 14 financial institutions said no and 1 said yes at a 15% APR. Kirill knew someone needed to change the way financial decisions were made.
In two short years, Kirill Klokov (Co-Founder & CEO) and Ilya Chatsviorkin (Co-Founder & CTO) founded Truv to put data back in the hands of consumers. Truv covers more than 150 million Americans with over 12,800 unique integrations to payroll providers, employers, and gig platforms. Truv has also expanded its vision and scope by unlocking access to tax data, transaction data, and insurance data.
… and this is just the beginning.
