How it Works

Verify the Payee. Authorize with Confidence.

Send money to a specific recipient, app, or wallet seamlessly and securely

The user searches for a recipient by phone number. Prove verifies the recipient's identity in real time (blue badge). This confirms the phone number belongs to the intended recipient before any funds are sent.

Prove will verify the recipient by sending a Prove Instant Link via SMS. Your money is protected until verification is complete.

Prove silently verifies the recipient’s identity—no passwords or codes needed—while ensuring the sender can trust the funds are going to the right person.

Confidently activate new users immediately and capture revenue at one of the highest-intent customer moments

Why Prove?

Identity intelligence built for payment verification

Rail-agnostic identity verification

Prove verifies the human behind the payment - not just the account. Identity is validated independently of the payment network, enabling consistent verification across ACH, cards, crypto, and real-time rails

Phone-centric identity signals

Prove treats the phone number as a root identity signal and uses real-time signals such as tenure, activity, and behavioral patterns to strengthen identity verification and detect fraud

Unified identity and authentication

Prove combines identity verification and authentication into a single flow so organizations can confirm who the payment recipient is and authorize transactions with stronger identity assurance
