MaxMind

MaxMind is the developer of GeoIP2, an industry-standard IP geolocation product, and of the minFraud transaction risk scoring service. Founded in 2002, the company is based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Products

The listed products are minFraud Score, Insights and Factors, the GeoIP2 Anonymous IP database, an IIN and BIN check and device tracking. A merchant sends order details to the service and receives a risk score, with more detail available in the higher tiers. The company describes these tools as a basic building block of fraud prevention built into hundreds of payment gateways and billing systems.

Customers and coverage

Target verticals are payment service providers, gateways, e-commerce, hosting and digital goods. Coverage is global.

Pricing

Pay-as-you-go use starts from 0.005 USD per query. That makes it easy to test on live traffic, though larger merchants should compare the price per query across the Score, Insights and Factors levels, since the amount of returned data differs.
