Case Study: Astra raises transfer limits 10x and accelerates user growth with Socure ID+

Unlocking Payments Automation Without Increasing Fraud

Astra, a consumer financial services platform that unifies banking, personal finance management and automated transfers, faced fraud attempts that forced it to impose a restrictive $100 default limit on money movements. To improve usability without increasing risk, Astra turned to Socure and implemented Socure ID+ fraud monitoring (phone and email risk) to add nuance to identity checks and reduce onboarding friction.

Socure’s ID+ models gave Astra real‑time, multidimensional risk scores that enabled automated enrollment and more granular KYC decisions. As a result—thanks to Socure—Astra raised default limits tenfold to $1,000, grew its user base consistently more than 20% month over month (200% since integration), processed $1.5M in transfers, manages $150M in cumulative balances across 20,000 accounts, and achieved a 97.90% auto‑acceptance rate while maintaining strong fraud controls.
