<p><strong>INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., September 11, 2024 – </strong><a href="https://www.socure.com/">Socure</a>, the leading provider of artificial intelligence for digital identity verification, sanctions screening, and fraud prevention, today announced the international expansion of its integrated identity verification solutions in more than 190 countries across Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, North and South America, plus global coverage for all ICAO-compliant travel documents, including all passports, the majority of EU national IDs, and IDs with NFCs.</p>
<p>Socure&#8217;s global expansion is driven by customer demand for comprehensive, cross-border digital identity verification solutions that allow them to grow across nations with a unified strategy rather than piecing together disparate tools. This trend is amplified by a fast-evolving global regulatory landscape, with country-specific requirements that demand solutions which can flexibly adapt to diverse jurisdictions, while maintaining extreme accuracy.</p>

<h3>“For too long, global businesses have been forced to manage a multitude of identity verification and compliance solutions to meet varying geographic requirements. This results in unwieldy operational overhead and, worse, inconsistent performance. We are laser focused on delivering our best-in-class solutions that allow businesses to scale globally and streamline consumer onboarding, compliance and transaction risk scoring across all of their business lines,” said Johnny Ayers, founder and CEO of Socure.</h3>
<h3>“Many of the world&#8217;s leading global companies now rely on Socure&#8217;s integrated compliance and identity verification controls to scale their businesses by saying yes to more good consumers, even as they drastically reduce fraud.”</h3>
