The story

Prove (formerly Payfone) is a phone-centric identity verification and authentication platform used by financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprises to verify consumer identities at onboarding and during transactions. The company leverages mobile network operator data signals to power its Trust Score and Prove Identity solutions. Based on the limited evidence available, Prove has expanded its digital identity verification partnerships—including a partnership with eBankIT to strengthen digital ID verification for financial institutions.
