Socure, a provider of global identity and risk intelligence infrastructure, has announced Socure Launch, a new offering designed to give organizations, particularly startups, immediate access to pre-built, industry-tested identity verification, fraud detection, and compliance decisioning solutions.
Socure Launch enables developers to build on Socure’s RiskOS platform, moving from account creation to production-ready identity and risk workflows in minutes rather than weeks. This aims to provide startups with an enterprise-level of identity verification and fraud control.
Early-stage disruptors across sectors such as fintech, crypto, gaming, marketplace, and e-commerce are often required to scale rapidly with limited resources while managing trust. These organizations face regulatory pressures and a threat landscape that intensifies with the rise of AI-driven fraud. Startups must navigate a choice between deploying products with inadequate identity and risk controls, allocating capital to develop risk systems internally, or over-investing in enterprise solutions that may not align with their immediate needs.
Johnny Ayers, Founder and CEO of Socure, stated, “With Socure Launch, identity and risk will never hold back innovation. Over the past year, we’ve seen an 8,000% increase in AI-driven fraud attacks across Socure’s network. As a result, we recognize that all organizations need the same identity infrastructure that the world’s largest enterprises rely on. With Socure Launch, we’re giving every developer a production-grade identity layer, so they can ship safely today, grow confidently tomorrow, and never have to rebuild as they scale.”
Socure Launch operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, including $1,000 per month in platform credits. This structure allows startups to access enterprise-grade identity and fraud capabilities without requiring long-term contracts or significant upfront commitments. The platform offers production-ready onboarding and payout experiences, supporting features such as swift onboarding of legitimate users, continuous fraud monitoring, OFAC and watchlist screening, prefill for accelerated onboarding, and intelligent step-up to document verification when necessary.
Startups utilizing Socure Launch are invited to join a developer community designed for collaboration, knowledge sharing, in-person meetups, and virtual networking. The self-serve onboarding experience for Socure Launch is available through the company’s website.
