Socure

Predictive identity verification and fraud scoring for the US market

As of 1 September 2026, Socure's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A US-focused identity platform that verifies people against data rather than documents, returning a probabilistic score from name, address, phone, email and SSN attributes. Softwr lists it under Cybersecurity. Socure is available on Web, iOS, Android.

Overview

What Socure does

Socure resolves and scores identities using machine learning over a wide set of consumer data attributes, producing decisions for KYC, synthetic identity detection, fraud risk, document verification and account opening. Its products include ID+ for identity verification, Sigma for fraud scoring, and a consortium-derived signal set contributed by its customer base. Compliance products cover Customer Identification Programme requirements and watchlist screening for US regulated institutions. The distinguishing capability is synthetic identity detection. A fabricated identity built from a real SSN and an invented name passes a document check and passes many credit checks, but fails when scored against the correlation patterns Socure models. For US banks and lenders, synthetic identity is one of the fastest growing loss categories and one that document-first vendors are structurally poor at catching. Buyers are US banks, credit unions, lenders, fintechs and government programmes. The trade-off is geography and data dependence. Outside the United States the underlying attribute data is thinner and performance drops, so a global business will still need a document-based vendor for other markets. Pricing is quoted per decision with annual commitments and is not published.

What people use it for

A US lender losing money to synthetic identities that pass document verification and thin-file credit checks
A credit union that wants to open accounts without asking applicants to photograph a driving licence
A government benefits programme needing identity assurance for applicants without in-person enrolment
A fintech that needs auditable reason codes for every decline to support adverse action notices

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Socure.

Coverage and accuracy depend on US consumer data density, so international expansion means adding a second, document-based vendor rather than scaling the same contract.
Data-only verification performs worst on thin-file populations, and young, recently arrived or credit-invisible applicants are declined at higher rates, which creates a fair lending exposure a bank must monitor.
Pricing is per decision with an annual commitment and is not published, so the cost of a traffic spike or a bot attack on your signup flow lands on your bill.
Modules for verification, fraud and compliance are licensed separately, so the shortlist price rarely matches the final contract once screening and document fallback are added.
A probabilistic score is harder to defend to an examiner than a documented identification procedure, so US institutions still have to map the score to explicit Customer Identification Programme controls themselves.

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

Does Socure work outside the United States?

International coverage exists but the data depth that makes the US product accurate is not replicated everywhere. Most global buyers pair it with a document vendor.

Can it verify without a document photo?

Yes, that is the core proposition. Document verification is available as a step-up when the data-only score is inconclusive.

Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted per decision against an annual volume commitment.
