Security First International Holdings, Inc. announced the launch of proofup.io an online proof of funds (POF) issuance platform for hemp supply brokers and intermediaries. Proof of funds (POF) refers to a document that demonstrates a person or entity has the ability and funds available for a specific transaction. Proof of funds usually comes in the form of a bank, security or custody statement. The platform provides customers with access to proof of funds letters for use in large hemp biomass and cannabidiol transactions. Hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) is projected to be a billion-dollar market in just three years. Hemp CBD sales has already hit 170 million and with a 55% compound annual growth rate. Customers can lease up to 1 million dollars in proof of funds and have letters delivered within 24 hours. All letters are delivered through secure email and self-destruct after the letters expiration date.
