Risk & Fraud
Turn a customer-submitted address into precise coordinates — or a coordinate pair back into a verifiable address — in a single real-time call.
Overview
What the Geocode API does
FinHub's Geocode API converts physical addresses into latitude and longitude, and resolves coordinates back into structured, verifiable addresses, so onboarding and risk teams can corroborate a declared location against other signals. Every conversion runs under consent and is sealed to a tamper-evident audit log for DPDP-aligned handling.
Inputs
- Address string or coordinate pair
- Consent artifact ID
- Direction (forward/reverse geocode)
Returns
- Latitude & longitude
- Standardised address
- Location accuracy tier
- Region/pincode match
- Confidence score
POST /v1/risk/geocode
How it works
Three steps to a verified result
Submit address or coordinates
Send a physical address, or a latitude/longitude pair, with a consent artifact over a single call.
We resolve the location
FinHub converts between address and coordinates and standardises the result against verified location data.
Get a verifiable location
Receive coordinates or a structured address with a confidence score in real time — sealed to your audit trail.
