Bristol, June. 22nd, 2022 – Propflo, a property transparency platform powered by AI, today announced a partnership with Onfido, the global identity verification and authentication company, to enable homeowners to curate key public information about their property and streamline the property transaction process with more upfront information.
The property market is not working for many people with an unacceptably high amount of fall-through transactions costing over £1bn per year with 14 million wasted days. The main reasons for these fall-throughs can be traced back to a lack of trust and transparency as well as sellers and buyers being underprepared. The partnership will allow Propflo users to confirm and add information about their property and enable buyers and sellers to share key information including their verified Onfido report to help property professionals with their compliance obligations.
By integrating Onfido’s AI-powered identity verification service, Propflo users are able to access advanced features by simply taking a photo of their government-issued identity document (ID) and a selfie video. Onfido first checks that the ID is genuine and not fraudulent, and then matches it to the user’s face. This ensures the person presenting the identity is its legitimate owner and is physically present. Users are able to start their digital journey anywhere, anytime, through a simple and user-friendly online experience that meets regulatory requirements.
About Onfido
Onfido is setting the new identity standard for digital access. The company digitally proves a user’s real identity using artificial intelligence (AI), by verifying a photo ID and comparing it to the person’s facial biometrics. This means businesses can verify their users without compromising on experience, conversion, privacy, or security.
Recognised as a global leader in AI for identity verification and authentication, Onfido is backed by TPG Growth, Idinvest Partners, Crane Venture Partners, Salesforce Ventures, M12 – Microsoft’s venture fund, and others. Onfido has raised $200m in funding, and with over 600 team members across eight countries, is enabling digital access for some of the largest companies around the world.
