Lingham’s Identity platform, which debuted its ICO token CVC in July, continues to add to the list of increasingly prominent businesses set to use its Blockchain solution.

Now, credit report repair service Progrexion, along with its subbrands law firm Lexington Law and consumer advice portal Credit.com, are also on board.

Lingham commented in a press release about the Progrexion deal:

“This partnership completes Civic's technical goal of not storing any consumer PII (Personally Identifiable Information) on our servers, even for those consumers who need constant credit monitoring.”
