SoftPro’s newest release within SoftPro 360 is an enhanced integration with Proof to offer stand-alone identity verification solutions.
Proof’s Identify integration includes identity verification with built-in fraud prevention that enables title and escrow companies to directly combat identity and impersonation fraud and ensure signatures are harder to forge.
SoftPro 360 has been integrated with Proof’s category-leading online notarization services for many years. This extended integration with Identify means SoftPro users can now order identity verification for buyers, sellers, and borrowers without ever leaving the SoftPro platform.
“SoftPro's commitment to prioritizing security and identity within their platform aligns perfectly with our mission at Proof, which has secured more than $400 billion in real estate transactions,” Proof CEO Pat Kinsel said in a release. “By leveraging our identity authorization network, SoftPro is leading the way in ensuring that every real estate transaction is not only efficient but secure. Together, we’re elevating the standard for trust and fraud prevention in the digital closing process.”
The integration encompasses new features including identity verification, identity-verified eSignatures, and standalone eSignatures. Real estate companies can now verify identities from the beginning of a real estate transaction to prevent fraud, instead of only checking IDs at the closing table.
Proof operates the Notarize Network, an on-demand network of notaries that are available 24/7 to perform a notarization or check a person’s identity.
SoftPro Chief Customer Officer Patrick Hempen stated, “Identity fraud is a major threat to consumers and the title industry, and SoftPro is pleased to offer additional tools to combat that threat with the new release of the Proof integration.”
