Reduce fraud in online e-commerce transactions by using Minfraud api

We will learn how to reduce fraud in  online e-commerce  transaction , affiliate referrals, surveys, and account logins and signups by using MinFraud API.

How does the MiniFraud service work?

The minFraud service determines that a transaction is fraudulent based on many factors, including whether an online transaction comes from a high risk IP address, high risk email, high risk device, or anonymizing proxy.

Key features of the minFraud service include:

• The riskScore
• Geographical IP address location checking
• High risk IP address and email checking
• Proxy detection
• Device tracking
• Bank Identification Number (BIN) to country matching
• The minFraud Network
• Prepaid and gift card identification
• Post query analysis
