<p>Socure’s predictive analytics platform applies artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques with trusted online/offline data intelligence from physical government-issued documents as well as email, phone, address, IP, device, velocity, date of birth, SSN, and the broader internet to verify identities in real-time. While other competitors may boast more data, they often lack the advanced analytics needed to derive reliable value from the data and, in worst cases, output inconsistent risk results. Its platform delivers the most accurate and robust identity verification and proofing, Know Your Customer (KYC/CIP), fraud risk prediction and document verification solutions in the market.</p>
