Our Story

American DataBank was founded in 1998 with the goal to provide a revolutionary way to protect organizations and universities from the uncertainties that come with hiring and school admittance. By 2001, the business hadn’t reached the level it hoped to one day achieve, but in those three years, the industry caught up to the company’s vision. On 9/11 the world changed, and everyone from the government to businesses realized there was a vital need for background screening. People wanted to know who they were bringing into their workplace and accepting into their classrooms.

This is why we’re here.

In our two decades of existence, we’ve worked with some of the largest businesses and universities who have trusted us to provide services that sustain them. We pride ourselves on providing our clients with innovative technology that leads the industry, and a human touch that proves you’re working with real people. People who will do what it takes to provide you with a great experience and help improve your efficiency.
