Founders & story · from Socure’s own dossier

Socure started as an identity-verification API and grew into the dominant KYC/fraud vendor for US fintechs and banks (18 of top 20 US banks, 500+ fintechs). Recent strategy is a platform pivot from point KYC to end-to-end 'RiskOS' — an AI-native decisioning and orchestration platform absorbing transaction monitoring, KYB, credit underwriting, BNPL credit data (Qlarifi), and agentic ops (Fravity). Simultaneously expanding into public sector (FedRAMP) and sponsor-bank oversight (Control Center).
