Device fingerprinting

How Device Fingerprinting Works

Fingerprinting collects non-sensitive data signals and generates an identifier used to link behavior across sessions and transactions. It is commonly used alongside risk scoring and authentication rules to reduce fraud without increasing friction.

Within Akurateco’s customizable infrastructure, evaluation functions in real time using transaction data and anti-fraud methods, all handled in one system with centralized management and scalable capabilities. As a result, teams can identify risky behavior more quickly and respond immediately.

Why Device Fingerprinting Matters for Your Business

Device fingerprinting helps reduce fraud by spotting repeat abusive behavior early. It can improve approvals by supporting more accurate risk decisions and fewer unnecessary challenges. It also reduces operational costs for fintech projects by lowering manual investigations during early building.

Akurateco helps teams build risk rules across markets in one platform, so developers don’t have to implement separate logic per provider. Akurateco delivers fraud services and supports an open-source deployment option, while keeping pricing predictable as you scale.

FAQ

Is device fingerprinting the same as personal data tracking?

It uses technical and behavioral signals (like browser/device attributes and session patterns) to recognize repeat behavior, not to identify a person. Akurateco supports using these signals within its anti-fraud and security setup, with centralized controls and monitoring in one orchestration layer.

How does device fingerprinting reduce fraud?

It links repeat risky behavior (multiple attempts, abnormal velocity, account takeover patterns) to a consistent device profile, making abuse easier to spot. Akurateco lets you combine device-based signals with risk scoring and rule-based checks to decide whether to approve, challenge, or block a transaction.

Can device fingerprinting reduce checkout friction?

Yes. Better risk decisions can reduce unnecessary challenges for legitimate customers. Akurateco helps apply device-related signals alongside 3DS and routing rules, so low-risk payments stay smoother while high-risk traffic is handled more strictly.
