Agent verification provider
Prove
In short
Prove builds Verified Agent as a layer between an agent and the businesses it deals with: tokens bind a person, an agent and a payment credential, each action stays within session limits, and a registry of publishers, merchants, networks and CDNs is checked first. Prove says most large US banks trust it, and passive multi-factor checks replace SMS codes.

What Prove does for this layer
From the vendor's own pages
Prove announced Prove Verified Agent on 23 Oct 2025 from New York as a trust and verification layer for agents acting for consumers and businesses. (prove.com, dated 2025-10-23) Prove Verified Agent launched with initial support for Google's AP2 protocol, and Prove says it will become protocol-agnostic. (prove.com, dated 2025-10-23) Prove Verified Agent provisions identity-bound tokens that link the verified person, the acting agent and the payment credential, and enforces session-level authorization limits on each agent action. (prove.com, dated 2025-10-23) Prove describes a live shared trust registry of agent publishers, relying parties, merchants, payment networks and CDNs, checked for good standing before any delegated action. (prove.com, dated 2025-10-23)
Prove says every agent interaction is co-signed by user and merchant keys, producing a consent and outcome log for disputes, chargebacks and regulatory reporting. (prove.com, dated 2025-10-23) Prove payments under Verified Agent use passive multi-factor authentication to avoid SMS one-time passwords at checkout. (prove.com, dated 2025-10-23) The Prove Agentic Suite has three parts: Prove Verified Agent for agent identity and permissions, Prove Agent Pay for credential use within user rules, and Prove Agent Protect for dispute evidence. (prove.com) Prove's suite page frames the gap as four questions infrastructure cannot answer today: who the agent is, who the person behind it is, what it may do and what happened. (prove.com)
Claims the vendor makes about itself
Prove says it is trusted by 19 of the top 20 US banks and more than 1,500 brands, while its suite page says 2,000+ companies. (prove.com)
