So what makes our API award-winning? 

Transaction Risk API helps businesses around the globe reach maximum performance by improving the efficiency of authorizations and reducing fraud rates. In under 100 ms, it scores the overall risk of the identity behind a transaction and delivers a concise response for fast model integration. Specifically built for easy integration into sophisticated machine learning models, the Transaction Risk API helps eCommerce merchants, marketplaces, payment processors, and others increase approvals and manage payment fraud at scale.

Transaction API has: 

  • Low latency response times – Models make predictions that are acted on (e.g. approve payment for authorization, send to 3DS or other challenge point, or reject payment) in real-time flows that may occur prior to a payment authorization. Transaction Risk API delivers a response within 100 ms to meet the condensed time requirements of models running at the front of the transaction process.
  • Highly-predictive and feature-ready data elements – Data scientists and machine learning engineers spend a lot of time on feature engineering data that might not even improve the model’s performance. Transaction Risk API provides our top 15 most predictive identity verification features that are generally Boolean or numerical and ready for modeling.
  • Global data – Online businesses accept payments from customers all around the world, and data science teams need to build models that perform well regardless of geography. Transaction Risk API delivers data on name, email, phone, address, and IP in 238 countries.
