How to integrate SEON Antifraud Check into a decision engine
Published on: 2024-08-10 18:48:28
SEON is one of many antifraud data providers that offer a broad range of data enrichment. Its main difference, from a data perspective, is the online footprint enrichment it can provide. Using a phone number or email as the main identifier, it can find where that identifier is registered and which profiles are tied to it. This can help combat synthetic identity fraud.
Examples of profile checks include LinkedIn, Skype, Airbnb, GitHub, Discord, and Amazon. In antifraud and credit risk evaluation, this data can help establish whether an identity is real. The more services linked to the identifier, the higher the probability that the identifier is valid.
