MaxMind minFraud
Malden, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
MaxMind minFraud is a transaction risk API that returns scores and risk data to help businesses assess online fraud. Its overall risk score combines machine learning with evolving fraud-expert heuristics and can inform whether to accept, reject, or review a transaction. Use cases include eCommerce payments, customer onboarding, incentivized online activity, and network security. The platform describes more than 80 risk attributes related to IP addresses, email addresses, devices, phone numbers, credit cards, and shipping addresses. Custom rules can label matching transactions for acceptance, rejection, or manual review, without changing the risk score. Through the Report Transaction API, customers can submit chargebacks, false positives, suspected fraud, or spam and abuse. MaxMind describes the API as lightweight and flexible to integrate, and provides device-tracking guidance for web, Android, and iOS. A free trial includes up to 1,000 queries. Paid use is pay as you go, with no commitment or monthly minimums, and customers can cancel at any time. The listed minFraud Score rate is $0.01 a month; minFraud Insights is $0.02 a month, both billed pay as you go.
