What an Email Address Reveals About a User
Blog post from Didit
Didit Email Verification offers a streamlined and cost-effective method for identifying fraudulent email addresses during the onboarding process by analyzing multiple fraud signals such as deliverability, domain reputation, provider type, and breach exposure. At a cost of $0.03 per check, it provides insights without requiring user effort, offering a low-friction solution to flag potentially risky addresses before more expensive verification steps like document or biometric checks are performed. The service distinguishes between legitimate and fraudulent emails by examining factors like the presence of data breaches, the use of disposable email providers, and undeliverable or duplicated addresses, thereby reducing the chances of onboarding fraudulent users. Additionally, it includes configurable risk actions and supports both session-based and standalone API modes, making it versatile for various use cases such as consumer fintech onboarding and marketplace seller verification. Didit Email Verification serves as a pre-filter to enhance security by identifying low-effort fraud attempts, ultimately optimizing the verification process and reducing costs associated with further identity verification measures.
