minFraud Release Notes

We have identified a bug with postal code validation in our database build process.

This bug is resulting in a number of incorrect and invalid values for postal codes. We are working on a fix.

The following products and services are impacted:

• minFraud Insights
• minFraud Factors
• minfraud Legacy
• GeoIP Insights web service
• GeoIP City Plus web service
• GeoIP City database
• GeoIP Enterprise database

Risk score reasons have been officially introduced and out of beta as of February 19, 2025.

Available for all minFraud service tiers for individual transactions on the Transaction Details page and also via API for the minFraud Factors service, risk score reasons provide specific and understandable reasons for why a risk score is high or low, helping to uncover risk patterns for individual transactions and the overall transaction stream, both at a point in time and over time.

Read our blog post to learn about the ‘why’ behind risk score reasons, and how you can use the data they provide to enhance your fraud strategy.

For minFraud legacy web services, we will no longer return A1 as a country code.

This change is due to the removal of long-deprecated fields in our GeoIP databases. See our GeoIP release note for more information.
