For years, businesses have faced an impossible choice when it comes to digital agreements: make it secure, or make it easy. Choose one.
Lock down your signing process with rigorous identity verification and you introduce friction that slows deals, frustrates customers, and leaks revenue at every step. Choose frictionless, and you open the door to identity fraud — a threat that isn't just growing, it's accelerating.
Today, that trade-off is over.
Propper AI and CLEAR: A New Standard for Secure Digital Agreements
We're thrilled to announce our partnership with CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the trusted identity security company behind the biometric experience already known and used by over 33 million members across the United States.
Together, we've embedded CLEAR's industry-leading biometric verification natively into the Propper agreement signing flow — at the exact moment it matters most. For businesses, this means real-time identity confidence without adding a single extra step for your customers.
Security and simplicity are no longer in conflict. With Propper + CLEAR, they work in concert.
Why This Partnership Had to Happen
Let's call out the moment we're in.
Generative AI has made it trivially easy to fabricate digital identities and documents. The hiring process alone is already in the crosshairs — Gartner® projects that one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fabricated by 2028. Across industries, identity fraud drains millions from organizations every single year.
Meanwhile, the tools most businesses have been relying on to verify identity are either bolted on after the fact, buried in friction, or absent entirely. Signing a contract shouldn't require a PhD in compliance — and verifying who's signing it shouldn't feel like a background check at airport security.
The case for fast, secure, and reliable identity verification in digital agreements has never been stronger. We built this to meet that moment.
What It Actually Looks Like
Here's the experience we built together:
For existing CLEAR members — and there are over 33 million of them — verification is a single selfie, taken directly inside the Propper signing flow. No redirects. No new accounts. No delays.
For new users, creating a CLEAR account takes less than 90 seconds. That's it. No one gets left behind, and no agreement gets delayed.
The result is a universally accessible, biometrically secured signing experience that's faster and more trustworthy than anything previously available in the market.
Global Coverage, From Day One
The Propper platform now delivers trusted biometric identity verification across both the U.S. and EU.
With CLEAR handling U.S. identity and OneID covering the UK and European markets, Propper customers operate with a single, unified agreement management platform that meets the verification standards of a truly global business — without stitching together multiple vendors or workflows.
What This Means for Your Business
If you're a business that:
- Manages high volumes of agreements or contracts
- Operates in regulated industries where identity matters
- Has felt the tension between security requirements and customer experience
- Is tired of paying legacy providers for tools that slow you down and nickel-and-dime you at every turn
...then this partnership was built for you.
Propper already delivers enterprise-grade eSigning at a fraction of the cost of legacy platforms — with transparent, no-traps pricing, near-zero switching costs, and advanced agentic workflows built for modern teams.
Now, it's also the most trusted signing experience available.
The Future of Digital Agreements Is Already Here
Our CEO Jack Berube put it simply:
"Together with CLEAR, Propper is ensuring that businesses of all sizes don't have to choose between agreement security and a world-class experience for their customers and agreeing parties."
We've spent our careers in this industry. Our leadership team helped shape the global eSignature market at DocuSign. We know better than anyone how broken the legacy model has become — and how much better it can be.
This partnership is proof of what's possible when you build for the future instead of protecting the past.
