Trust API

Global trust signals, built for noisy data and fast decisions

Trust API supports automated, high-confidence decisions across onboarding, checkout, and user behavior, without hand-tuning logic by region. It drops into your existing risk stack, adapts to evolving patterns, and works with the signals you already send. No retraining, no rewrites.

What is Trust API?

Elephant’s Trust API is a real-time scoring layer built for fraud, product, and engineering teams. It resolves identity across behavioral, device, network, and third-party signals to deliver a single trust score that scales globally and adapts locally, so you can automate decisions without manual tuning, thresholding, or retraining.

Approve new users and purchases faster

Automate decisioning across signups and transactions with trust scores calibrated to regional norms, signal quality, and behavioral variance.

Reduce false declines, especially in emerging markets

Prevent false positives in thin-file or high-noise environments using broader signal coverage and contextual risk modeling.

Assess high-risk activity at scale 

Flag suspicious behavior early by combining network, device, and identity anomalies, before manual review is triggered.

Streamline global decisioning logic

Replace region-specific rule stacks with a unified trust layer that flexes across markets, channels, and risk thresholds.

Expand confidently into new regions

Scale without local data dependencies using Elephant’s 5B+ identity graph—no manual signal stitching or third-party sourcing required. 

What Trust API delivers 

Built for global performance, Trust API delivers real-time trust scores calibrated to your region, risk posture, and user population. It’s a scoring layer designed to support high-confidence automation across any market.

Proven performance, trusted outcomes

A global ecommerce marketplace boosted approval rates by 5.5 points with Elephant’s AI-driven trust scores, approving more legitimate transactions without increasing chargeback risk.

A digital payments platform reduced manual reviews by 20% using Elephant, freeing risk teams to focus on complex fraud while improving throughput. 

A global brand reduced chargeback rates by 3bps with Elephant’s calibrated trust scores, preventing more than $83,000 in fraud losses in only one quarter. 

A global social media platform saw an 83% lift in fraud identification at signup, catching more inauthentic accounts before they could enter the network.
