What data is required to generate an Address Risk Score?
At minimum, the input must include a name and address.
Providing complete and structured data — such as apartment or unit numbers in separate fields — improves accuracy and parsing performance.
What output does Address Risk provide?
The output includes:
- A numeric risk score
- A correlation value between name and address
- Reason codes that explain risk flags or failed validations (e.g., vacant, commercial, correctional facility)
What are the best practices for using and integrating Address Risk?
- Pair Address Risk with KYC or fraud scores, especially for high-risk identity verification segments.
- Always submit apartment or unit numbers in a separate field when possible to improve parsing and matching accuracy.
- Use Address Risk as a real-time signal or for continuous monitoring of address changes.
- Adjust thresholds and rules to fit your organization’s risk tolerance. Consult with Socure for optimal configuration.
Should Address Risk replace my fraud or KYC checks?
No. Address Risk should not replace your primary fraud or KYC checks.
It is intended to enhance existing ID verification and fraud risk assessments by offering address-specific insights, correlation confidence, and velocity monitoring.
