Episode notes
In this episode of FintechTalks, Sanjib Kalita sits down with Rodger Desai, CEO of Prove , to explore how mobile phones became one of the most powerful tools in digital identity. Roger shares Prove’s founding insight: the phone network already solves the tradeoff between security, convenience, and privacy - and that same cryptographic foundation can transform how we verify and authenticate people online. From winning 19 of the top 20 U.S. banks to expanding globally across 80+ countries, Prove has evolved from startup challenger to core identity infrastructure. They also dive into AI-driven fraud, the rise of bots, and why the future of commerce - human and agentic - depends on stronger, tokenized identity.
