Cool Probiter

What's a probiter? It seems it belongs to the finances and business environments.


Thank You

Perhaps a derived word from "probity"? So someone whose business it is to ensure that dealings are honest?

Or perhaps it's derived from 'probate' - which is proving that a dead person's will is accurate/genuine.
