Battle card

Talking points for a live sales call.

Transmit Security is an identity-security platform fusing identity management, fraud prevention, and identity verification into a single platform (Mosaic by Transmit Security). Premium financial-services client base: Citi, Goldman Sachs, Aflac, KeyBank. **GeoComply lost the SoFi POC to Transmit Security** — a credible threat in fintech evaluations where identity-centric buyers prioritise consolidation over best-of-breed point solutions. Understanding this loss is important: SoFi spans banking, investing, lending, and crypto — a broad platform that likely weighted the identity-consolidation story over standalone location compliance. Recommendation: consider whether a Transmit co-sell is more viable than direct competition in enterprise fintech. Their financial-services client base is a warm introduction path GeoComply cannot reach directly.

Watch out for

• Tier-1 banking client base: Citi, Goldman, Aflac, KeyBank — credible enterprise reference set.
• Mosaic unified stack: CIAM + passwordless auth + fraud detection (DRS) + IDV — single-vendor pitch.
• Adaptive authentication — risk signals drive step-up to MFA when login appears anomalous.
• SAML/OIDC for enterprise identity federation; pre-built Salesforce + ServiceNow connectors.

How we win

• IP-derived location only — one contextual risk signal, not verified physical position.
• No GPS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth sensor fusion.
• No jurisdiction enforcement — risk score only, not binary geo-fence enforcement.
• No compliance audit log.
• No AML transaction monitoring — gap alongside the absence of compliance-grade location.

GeoComply lost SoFi to Transmit Security

This is the most concrete competitive loss in the new-verticals set. Decision criteria appear to have favoured identity consolidation over best-of-breed location compliance. Recommendation: consider co-sell over direct competition in enterprise fintech.

Talking points

1. Co-sell, not displacement, in enterprise fintech. Transmit's CIAM + IDV stack is a warm introduction path into Citi / Goldman / Aflac / KeyBank — institutions GeoComply cannot reach directly.
2. Highlight the AML + compliance-grade-location gap. Both are becoming table stakes in crypto/fintech compliance stacks — Transmit has neither.
3. The SoFi loss informs the playbook. In multi-product fintech RFPs (banking + investing + lending + crypto), buyers will weight consolidation over best-of-breed. Position GeoComply as the location layer that completes Transmit's stack, not the alternative to it.

Where they overlap with GeoComply

• Tier-1 / Tier-2 banking + fintech: Transmit is incumbent. GeoComply rarely meets them in head-to-head SKU comparison; the conversation should be "how we complement."
