Industry-Leading Identity Verification and Fraud Platform Recognized for Innovation, Impact, Value, Performance, and Ease of Use

Socure, the leading provider of digital identity verification and fraud solutions, today announced that it has been selected as the “Best Identity Verification Solution” in the sixth annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in today’s global FinTech market. Socure’s graph-defined identity verification and fraud platform won this elite recognition against a crowded field of new and legacy competitors when judged against the following criteria: innovation, impact, value, performance, and ease of use.

As the market leader, Socure’s innovative approach includes building the industry’s most comprehensive identity graph. Unlike any other company in the space, it analyzes and correlates every facet of a digital identity, utilizing over 17,000 features, 8 billion rows of data, and a continuous performance feedback loop of decision outcomes from over 1,000 customers across industries to deliver the highest-accuracy and auto-approval rates of new users in the market.

Socure customers regularly realize tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in ROI due to the unparalleled accuracy of its platform. For example, during its first year of use, one of the nation’s largest credit card issuers reduced fraud losses by $14M and increased revenue by $22M because it could auto-approve more good customers in real time, without introducing manual review and unnecessary friction.

Socure customers include four of the five largest banks, seven of the 10 largest credit issuers, 250+ fintechs, top crypto exchanges, investment platforms, and top Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) providers. Its customers rely on the platform’s ability to not only provide the most precise identity fraud classification model in the industry, but to deliver unparalleled accuracy with auto-approval rates of up to 98% for mainstream demographics, and up to 94% for hard-to-identify populations such as Gen Z, millennials, credit invisible, thin-file, and new-to-country.

Socure’s platform is available through a single API designed for simplicity and ease of use.

“Identity coverage from legacy vendors often results in low accuracy, false positives, manual reviews, and customer friction. Financial institutions need a way to reduce the need for manual knowledge-based authentication, while also increasing auto-acceptance rates and reducing fraud,” said James Johnson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. “Socure has become the essential platform for instant identity verification and fraud detection at scale. Socure has emerged through the crowded fintech market with its impressive track record and continued commitment to eliminating identity fraud for every applicant on the internet. Congratulations on being our choice for ‘Best Identity Verification Solution.’”
