Ultimately, the supercharged Bolt ID lowers fraud risk, fees, and operational burden for businesses.“Think of it like lending money to a trusted friend instead of a stranger. When uncertainty drops, everything gets easier and cheaper,” said <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fjustingrooms%2F&amp;esheet=54417114&amp;newsitemid=20260204976435&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Justin+Grooms%2C+President+of+Bolt&amp;index=6&amp;md5=e8f38eaa653063079eb27a380e06ba8f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Justin Grooms, President of Bolt</a>. “Bolt ID is designed to authenticate real people, not just score transactions. Socure provides the identity intelligence that helps us understand when a shopper’s signals don’t add up so we can stop sophisticated fraud in checkout without compromising trust, privacy, or conversion.”Since launching last year, Bolt ID has focused on one of the most damaging and difficult fraud challenges facing merchants: synthetic identities. Rather than relying solely on static onboarding checks, Bolt ID is now able to evaluate identity trust dynamically at checkout using signals informed by Socure’s RiskOS platform. This allows Bolt to detect high-risk behavior at the moment it matters most, without forging legitimate shoppers through repetitive verification steps. Behind the scenes, Socure’s Hosted Flows enabled Bolt to stand up the required onboarding and identity verification experience in just weeks, accelerating Bolt ID’s path from concept to production.With a higher degree of certainty that a shopper is who they claim to be, merchants using Bolt ID see:<ul><li>Lower exposure to synthetic identity fraud</li><li>Fewer unnecessary step-ups during checkout</li><li>Reduced costs associated with risk and verification</li><li>Higher approvals rates without added friction</li></ul>“Socure exists to provide the highest fidelity of identity trust at an unparalleled scale, and our execution with Bolt ID is a powerful example of that in action,” said <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fjohnnyayers%2F&amp;esheet=54417114&amp;newsitemid=20260204976435&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Johnny+Ayers%2C+Founder+and+CEO+of+Socure&amp;index=7&amp;md5=3478f5b92e249f799a03b5ea52e94300" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Johnny Ayers, Founder and CEO of Socure</a>. “By enabling Bolt to launch a secure onboarding and checkout experience in just weeks, and replace a fragmented vendor stack with a single intelligence layer, we’re showing how our Identity Graph intelligence can be applied to detect synthetic identities and stop fraud that no other provider can. The result is a new model for commerce where identity, authentication, and fraud prevention work together seamlessly to protect merchants and consumers alike.”As Bolt continues to expand Bolt ID as a core layer of its SuperApp, Socure’s trusted Identity Graph will support a broader roadmap that includes low-friction authentication for trusted consumers, adaptive protections against emerging abuse, and cross-merchant trust signals that reduce the need for repeat verification.<h2>About Bolt</h2>Bolt is the checkout, identity and payments leader powering faster, smarter commerce.
