Funnel Announces Integration with CheckpointID to Ensure Renter and Resident Safety and Reduce Fraud

Deep Integration and Onsite ID Verification to Enhance Funnel’s CRM and Renter Journey

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Funnel, the only renter-centric property management software platform, today announced a strategic partnership with CheckpointID, the Multifamily industry's largest fraud prevention company. The deep integration and partnership enables onsite identification verification for prospective renters using Funnel’s robust CRM and helps in both reducing fraud and increasing safety.

The pandemic has resulted in an increase of remote workers at property management companies and interest in self-guided tours, which offer a socially-distanced experience for prospective renters to tour properties without coming in contact with leasing agents. While offering more flexibility for renters, this trend has made it more difficult for property managers to verify ID of potential renters remotely.

“Partnering with CheckpointID, the largest ID verification and rental fraud prevention company in multifamily is an honor,” said Tyler Christiansen, CEO, Funnel. “We have seen tremendous interest in self-guided tours and both renters and property managers want to ensure the most seamless and safe experience when shopping for their new home.”

"Safety and fraud prevention are of utmost importance at CheckpointID,” said Terry Slattery, CEO of CheckpointID. “We are excited to deepen our partnership and integration with Funnel and help ensure a seamless and safe experience for renters, residents and leading property management companies.”
