What is minFraud?
minFraud is the proprietary online fraud detection service that combines our GeoIP^® technology with other in-house developed order variable checks, such as open proxy detection. The minFraud service can provide all the information obtained during manual verification and additional information in less than one second. Merchants can use the minFraud service to speed up manual order verification, automate order process by using our risk scores, or develop their own customized scoring system with the information that we provide.

What is the minFraud Network?
Since the minFraud service is a hosted solution, it connects and consists of all the e-commerce businesses who are currently using the minFraud service. Currently, more than 6,000 e-commerce businesses are protected by the minFraud service through our client and partner networks. By combining feedback and resources from the minFraud network and delivering new features designed to combat emerging fraud trends, we are able to help merchants reduce chargebacks effectively.

Why join the minFraud Network?
Businesses may prefer to have an in-house screening system, but we believe a hosted service has advantages over an in-house system. While in-house fraud screening systems may be effective, over time, fraudsters will figure out a way to circumvent the security measures. Being part of the minFraud Network allows for a more dynamic and adaptive approach to fraud detection through the idea of mutual protection. For example, if we detect suspicious activity from an IP address, it will be flagged as high risk throughout the network in real-time. Feedback from merchants will serve as a warning signal to all others within the network. For that reason, the minFraud service can complement existing in-house fraud checking systems very well.
