New York City, New York, July 24, 2018 – Block66, the new blockchain-powered platform mitigating mortgage fraud, today announced a strategic partnership with Civic Technologies Inc., a company revolutionizing digital identity with blockchain-based technology. The partnership brings trusted, secure identity services to the mortgage industry and enables Block66 to verify the information that borrowers put on their applications.

“Partnering with Civic Technologies will help Block66 validate applicants’ information and do thorough background checks so that lenders know borrowers are honestly representing themselves,” said Joe Markham, Founder and CEO of Block66. “With Civic Technologies, our platform will make it easier for everyone, so mortgages can be approved and funded faster.”

“We are pleased to welcome Block66 to Civic’s Partner Network. This collaboration marks another milestone for Civic’s ecosystem and for on-demand, secure, and low-cost access to identity verification services,” said Civic CEO, Vinny Lingham.

Civic will enable Block66 to enhance efficiency, privacy, and security for their trusted mortgage lending platform. Civic’s easy-to-use Know Your Customer (KYC) solution will be integrated with Block66’s existing framework. This partnership will further reduce the manual underwriting process, increasing convenience for platform users across the mortgage industry while maintaining user privacy.
