Reducing friction in the fight against identity fraud and account takeover

Reducing friction in the fight against identity fraud and account takeover

Addresses form a critical part of a consumer's identity footprint, impacting key touchpoints from account opening through the entire customer lifecycle. However, fraudsters frequently exploit fake, stolen, or invalid physical addresses to conduct account takeovers. Socure's Address RiskScores establish address-level risk and its correlation to a holistic identity profile, empowering businesses to deflect identity fraud attacks without adding friction to legitimate customers.
