Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Prove's identity-proving solutions allow businesses to enable their customers to prove their identities with just a phone. It is used by more than 1,000 global enterprises and 500 financial institutions (including 8 of the top 10 US financial institutions) across multiple industries.
With more and more activity taking place online and via mobile devices, Prove offers companies speed and security while processing transactions. The identity verification space is buoyant, with many other companies providing the service, such as OneLogin and Callsign.
Despite the competition in the market, Prove has grown to be a leading, award-winning, platform. Its phone-centric tokenization and passive cryptographic solutions have had tremendous corporate momentum and recognition, including being the only identity verification provider to be named to Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 500 list for the fifth year in a row. As one of the Financial Times' Fastest Growing Companies’, Prove is well set to further its hold on the market.
