Continue Reading Headshot of Zach Schofel, co-founder and CEO of Cosign The integration embeds Cosign's guarantor solution directly into VERO's screening workflow, allowing property owners and operators to instantly offer lease approval alternatives when applicants fall short of standard criteria. Instead of losing qualified renters or forcing them into manual follow-ups, leasing teams can now keep deals moving in real time, within a single system. "Too often, qualified renters are denied housing simply because they miss a traditional threshold," said Zach Schofel, co-founder and CEO of Cosign. "By integrating directly with VERO, we're ensuring renters receive immediate, transparent alternatives while properties maintain strong screening standards and protect their financial performance." VERO combines applicant screening, risk analysis, and protection services under one roof to prevent fraud, protect NOI, and speed up the leasing process. By embedding Cosign's guarantor options directly into that workflow alongside VERO's full-stack identity, income, credit, and criminal verification, operators gain a single, end-to-end process that moves qualified renters from application to approval without interruption. **Key capabilities of the Cosign–VERO native integration include:** - **Real-time guarantor offers:** When an applicant falls below approval thresholds inside VERO's Risk OS, Cosign's guarantor option surfaces automatically with no manual handoff required. - **Single-system experience:** Leasing teams and applicants remain in the VERO environment throughout, eliminating context-switching and reducing drop-off. - **Compliance-forward design:** Both platforms are built with fair housing requirements in mind, giving legal and operations teams confidence at every decision point. - **National reach:** Available across all 50 states, with Cosign's fastest-growing markets in Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida. The Cosign–VERO integration is available now.
