This release includes two exciting new features, including a new lookup app and expanded coverage of geocodes.

SERPRO (CPF Brazilian Tax ID) Lookup App

SERPRO refers to the Brazilian Federal Data Processing Service (Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados). 

CPF stands for "Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas," which translates to "Individual Taxpayer Registry" or simply "Individual Tax Identification Number" (TIN) in English. CPF is a unique identification number assigned to each Brazilian citizen and resident for tax purposes. It serves as an identification tool for opening a bank account, Conducting financial transactions, and filing taxes.

With this integration, users can provide the CPF and resident/citizen's name and Fraud.net will provide back the details from SERPRO. This includes if the CPF and name match as well as their date of birth.

Geo Codes

When sending an address, Fraud.net matches, generally down to the postal code, it to a corresponding geo code. This Geocode provides latitude and longitude details that allow for distance and comparison calculations to occur within the FN rules engine. Previously, there were gaps in certain countries/locations making such calculations difficult. With this release, we can reference/match the postal codes of all countries to a corresponding Geo code.
