Transaction Risk API provides payment operations teams critical insights into client-provided identity information to reduce friction and improve customer experience while keeping fraud at bay.
How it Works

Network Signals
Leverage seven proprietary signals around primary and secondary emails (email first seen) and addresses (address first seen), as well as the location address (IP last seen), phone (phone last seen), and combination of phone and IP provided (phone IP last seen) to improve accuracy of your fraud models.
Validity Checks for Payment Details
Evaluate the authenticity of billing and shipping details such as email, phone, address provided by the customer.
Enriched Phone Metadata
Gain insight into the line type of the phone number, which can often be a strong indicator of fraud.
IP Distance from Address Calculations
Gauge the distance between your customer’s IP and their provided addresses.
Risk Flags and Scores
Leverage model-derived signals such as Identity Risk Score (otherwise known as Transaction Risk Score), Identity Network Score, and IP Risk flag, in your risk models to predict the riskiness of a customer.
Match Statuses to Name
Confirm that the email(s), phone(s), and addresses provided in the transaction are associated with the customer name.
