Risk & Fraud
Resolve the location, ISP and network reputation behind any IP address the instant a session or transaction begins.
Overview
What the IP Address Verification API does
FinHub's IP Address Verification API resolves an IP to its geographic location, ISP and connection type, and flags proxy, VPN or datacenter traffic that often precedes fraud. It's built to sit inside real-time risk scoring for logins, transactions and account changes, with every lookup captured under consent and sealed to a tamper-evident audit log.
