InChek was founded by Don Siclari, Jr. while he was a student at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. What started as a means of subsidizing his tuition quickly turned into a full time career. Don brought the company back home with him to Connecticut in as it began to acquire a nationwide client base.
InChek began with electronic check re-presentment and now provides a full range of payment processing services. From its inception, InChek has distinguished itself by making highly responsive, friendly customer service more than just a slogan. Assigning a personal account manager to each client is just one of the ways we walk the talk.

Tyrone is fourteen years old and joined InChek shortly after its inception when he, as an abandoned puppy, stumbled upon Don along a backwoods road in Oxford, Ohio.
He was adopted and since then has brought his charming energy, constant affection, and love of anything edible to the company staff.
Tyrone is part beagle/part Labrador retriever and especially enjoys gallivanting around outside on his own where he can pursue whatever scents catch his fancy. Even at his age, he is still running 8-10 miles/day due to the strictly homemade organic diet he’s been on since he was a puppy.
Our commitment to cutting edge technology ensures that our clients receive the best services, support, and enhancements available.
