In today’s digital economy, “trust” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the engine of growth. Whether you are sending a service provider into a customer’s home, renting out a vehicle, or connecting people on a dating app, you need to know two things instantly: Is this person who they say they are? and Can they be trusted on my platform?
Historically, businesses had to choose between a fast onboarding experience and a thorough background check. Today, we’re excited to announce that you no longer have to choose.
Checkr Trust has partnered with Socure, a leader in AI-powered identity verification, to create the industry’s most unified approach to identity and criminal risk.
What this means for Checkr Trust customers
If you are already using Checkr Trust to surface criminal and safety signals, your world just got a lot more secure. Through this partnership, we are incorporating Socure’s world-class identity verification, biometrics, and document verification directly into our workflows.
By adding Socure’s “Day Zero” identity intelligence, we help you:
- Stop fraud before it starts: Verify that a user’s ID is authentic and their biometrics match before you ever run a background check.
- Eliminate “blind spots”: Combine our network of 2,400+ criminal data sources with Socure’s global identity graph for a 360-degree view of risk.
- Reduce onboarding friction: Users can be verified in under two minutes via a mobile-friendly interface—no separate accounts or third-party redirects required.
