Fraud Prevention with IP Intelligence

Add a powerful layer of security to your application. Detect suspicious activity, verify user locations, and stop fraud before it happens.

How IP Geolocation Prevents Fraud

1

Capture IP Address

Every request to your application includes an IP address. Capture it during login, checkout, or any sensitive action.

2

Get Location Data

Query our API to get country, city, timezone, and network information for instant context about the request origin.

3

Apply Rules

Compare against user history, block high-risk countries, or flag unusual location changes for review.

Fraud Detection Strategies

Impossible Travel Detection

Flag logins that occur from locations too far apart in too short a time. If a user logs in from New York and then London 30 minutes later, something's wrong.

if distance > 500km && time_diff < 1hr → flag

High-Risk Country Blocking

Block or require additional verification for transactions from countries with high fraud rates or where you don't do business.

if country_code in blocked_list → require_2fa

VPN/Proxy Detection

Use ASN data to identify traffic from known VPN providers, data centers, and proxy networks that fraudsters use to hide their true location.

if asn_type == "hosting" → increase_risk_score

Billing Address Mismatch

Compare the IP location with the billing address on file. Large discrepancies warrant additional verification.

if ip_country != billing_country → verify
