Prove
View Company ProfileProve Identity (operating under prove.com, legally Prove Identity, Inc., and formerly known as Payfone, Inc.) is the premier, enterprise-grade cryptographic digital identity verification, mobile authentication pioneer, and passwordless security orchestration powerhouse engineered to act as the definitive, high-velocity consumer trust registry, real-time onboarding acceleration, and structural fraud prevention layer for global banking institutions, fintech networks, e-commerce brands, and healthcare systems. Founded in 2008 by visionary mobile payment and technology entrepreneurs Rodger Desai and Mike Brody, the corporate ecosystem completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern digital identity verification—where companies lose up to 40% of prospective clients due to complex, manual document scanning, high-latency multi-factor SMS delays, and intrusive knowledge-based authentication checkpoints that fail to stop sophisticated, AI-driven synthetic identity fraud—by deploying its proprietary mobile-centric infrastructure. Moving far beyond traditional, passive credit bureau checks or slow photo ID matching methods, Prove natively unifies authoritative mobile operator signal telemetry, continuous passive phone possession analysis, real-time identity tokenization, and instant form pre-fill engines (Prove Pre-Fill®) into a single high-availability verification operating framework. Processing over 30 billion secure authentication transactions annually for over 2,000 corporate clients, the platform serves as a primary trust foundation for 9 of the top 10 financial institutions in the United States and global consumer marketplace leaders like BetMGM, Synchrony, and Care.com. Reflecting its massive category dominance and certified unicorn status, the high-growth enterprise has raised more than $268 million in institutional venture capital, achieving a valuation exceeding $1 billion through backing from elite strategic groups including Capital One Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, Apax Digital, TransUnion, and Amex Ventures. Under the hood, its technology architecture operates on a massive distributed network that cross-references physical mobile device signatures with network carrier event logs in real time, executing frictionless passwordless login protocols (Prove Auth®) that achieve a 79% acceleration in customer onboarding speeds and up to a 75% structural reduction in active account fraud while remaining entirely SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and CCPA data privacy compliant with absolute execution correctness. What sets Prove Identity apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing fragile, high-friction user inputs with silent, tokenized device possession validation and instantaneous profile construction; by bridging the gap between high-volume relational enterprise database registries and seamless, millisecond-level mobile security assurance, the corporation remains a definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic digital trust and global cybersecurity transformation.
