Entrepreneurs can use their existing EFactor identity, with user consent, at other websites to easily login and share data.  Websites that rely on the EFactor identities will be able to offer additional services based upon the EFactor membership, provide discounts and increase conversion.

The Prooflink platform already connects with millions of known users, simply accepting preferred identification methods like Google, Facebook, Twitter or national banking and mobile identities.  With this partnership, an additional group of almost one million entrepreneurs is added to their platform.

One of the customers of Prooflink that will directly benefit from this partnership is the crowdfunding platform, Symbid - with whom EFactor has a closer partnership.  With a single click, Symbid is able to welcome an additional group of one million entrepreneurs and potential investors to their platform.  

EFactor's co-founder and CTO Marion Freijsen comments, "The key starting point for us is that Entrepreneurs around the world are busy people.  We want to offer them value through their membership of EFactor.  The Prooflink single-sign-on will offer access to a great way of funding their business through our partnership with Symbid, as well as ease of use on many other websites that accept the EFactor credentials.
