​Curql Collective, a CUSO bringing fintech to credit unions, has made a new fintech addition to its Curql Fund I investment portfolio: Proof, the world’s first identity-assured transaction management platform. Built to simplify notarization, identity proofing, and eSignature capabilities; and detect and prevent fraud at every stage, Proof helps credit unions authenticate members and ensure transactions are compliant, safe and secure.
 
“This level of online notarization is a game-changer,” said Curql Collective President and CEO Nick Evens. “Our credit unions prioritize identifying fintech that help the CU industry remain relevant and competitive - and Proof does just that - through simplifying, digitizing, and de-risking outdated processes. Altogether, this is what makes Proof a strong strategic investment and value add to our ecosystem.”
 
Proof’s powerful enterprise capabilities include identify verification, fraud detection and notary support for in-house notary teams as well as trusted notaries and referees available at enterprise scale. The platform handles millions of financial documents each year, including powers of attorney, direct rollovers, loan applications, trust certifications, and more.  From a security standpoint, Proof brings trust and certainty to every agreement and customer interaction by actively detecting more than 100 risk signals to identify fraudulent activity at every stage of the transaction. It also leverages multi-factor authentication to meet specific document requirements, and annotation and editing tools are built in to reduce signing time and document errors and eliminate guesswork with compliance and eligibility programmed into the platform.
 
Proof’s CEO, Pat Kinsel, said, "Proof’s remote online notarization and identity verification platform increases credit union member satisfaction and leads to enhanced member experience, transaction security, operating efficiency and a higher perception of credit unions. Curql’s partnership with Proof validates the benefits that Proof brings to credit unions, and we look forward to working with Curql to expand our offerings to its network."
