Email Intelligence

Email fraud detection and risk scoring. Verify email reputation, detect disposable emails, and check breach exposure for KYC onboarding.

Email Intelligence is an email fraud detection check. It scores the fraud risk of a customer’s email address using reputation and threat signals.

Use it to reduce sign-up abuse and improve KYC onboarding quality. It also helps stop customers using disposable or breached email addresses.

Use Email Intelligence anywhere an email address is a key identifier:

KYC onboarding and account opening: Flag high-risk emails before running identity checks.
New account and sign-up fraud: Stop disposable emails and mass-created accounts.
Account takeover (ATO): Treat sudden email changes or risky emails as a step-up signal.
Promo and referral abuse: Detect disposable email reuse across promotions.

The check runs an email verification and email reputation assessment. It combines multiple indicators to produce an overall fraud risk score.
