Socure Acquires Document Verification Startup Berbix to Smoke the Competition in Speed, Accuracy, and Fraud Capture

Fact vs. Fiction in Identity Verification and Fraud Prevention

<p>We&#8217;re thrilled to congratulate our partner <a href="https://public.com/uk">Public</a>, a New York-based multi-asset investment platform, on its recent launch in the United Kingdom. U.K. members can now invest in over 5,000 U.S-listed equities, while benefiting from low FX fees*, zero-commission trading during U.S. market hours, and advanced data and analytics.</p>
<p>Public’s mission of making the public markets work for all people aligns with Socure’s relentless work to ensure the widest identity verification coverage for all populations and demographics.</p>
<h2>A Solid Partnership Based on Shared Values</h2>
<p>Public is continuously working to give its members a seamless customer experience – from onboarding to investing and everything in between. Public partners with Socure to power its Document Verification which is required when a new member is opening an account. This step is an important part of the onboarding and verification experience.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>“A positive customer experience &#8211; and a safe, smooth onboarding process &#8211; is central to Public’s vision of making the public markets for all people,” said Dann Bibas, GM of International at Public.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://www.socure.com/">Socure</a> delivers fast, accurate identity verification experiences essential to acquiring customers and establishing trust when a member begins the account opening process. Part of that onboarding process may require additional validation, where <a href="https://www.socure.com/products/document-verification">Socure’s Predictive DocV 3.0</a> provides step-up verification.</p>
<h2>A Seamless Expansion</h2>
<blockquote>
<h3>Every new market comes with its own sets of opportunities and challenges, and the U.K. is no different.</h3>
<h3>Said Bibas, “We think U.K. customers are looking to invest in US stocks with fewer costs and more tools at their fingertips. As we grow into new markets, we look forward to learning from our customers and improving Public’s offering accordingly.”</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>When expanding into the U.K. Public’s partnership with Socure allowed the US-based FinTech to scale into new geographies with an existing partner, minimizing the number of third parties that it worked with and building off the strength of a multi-year partnership between Public and Socure in the US.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>“With Socure, we could stay with one key partner of ours from the U.S. as we expand into a new market like the UK. Naturally, this makes our infrastructure more scalable,” said Bibas.</h3>
</blockquote>
<h2>Moving Forward Together</h2>
<p>The entire Socure team is humbled to execute our part in supporting Public’s global expansion and its core mission. As partners in promoting inclusion in the financial system, we look forward to continuing to support the team as they drive equitable access to investing.</p>
