Confirm launched a portable digital identity solution designed to bolster trust and security in online marketplaces.
Using identity protocols paired with intuitive user experiences, Confirm allows people to create a secure, verified digital ID - a ConfirmID - which they can use to prove their identity online without oversharing personal information.
Confirm was created in response to a rapidly increasing and urgent need for more trust in online interactions, and especially in peer-to-peer buying and selling networks like Facebook Marketplace.
With Confirm, people can create a verified digital ConfirmID using government-issued ID like a passport or driver's license.
The ConfirmID can then be shared safely with others to establish trust.
A person who creates a ConfirmID can use it over and over, anywhere they go online, to establish trust in future interactions, too.
In addition to its central identity features, today Confirm offers other features that bring peace of mind to marketplace transactions, including determining the owner of a Facebook account, and establishing payment terms and meeting places for in-person transactions.
Confirm is designed to work with any peer-to-peer marketplaces, including Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, eBay, and others.
With many decades of tech and startup experience between them, Simpson and Carrescia most recently worked together on Wave Financial, which was acquired by H&R Block in 2019 for $537 million.
