Fraud intelligence for performance marketing

The book of record for performance marketing.

Affchex is the vetted database of affiliates, advertisers, and individuals with reported histories of non-payment, scams, and fraud, built from reports by the networks and publishers who got there first.

The danger is real. It is also searchable.

Illustration of a verification query. Live data is member-only.

Every unpaid invoice was preventable.

When an advertiser skips out on payment or an affiliate runs fraud, the victims change. The actors rarely do. They count on nobody comparing notes: new network, new deal, same play.

Affchex is where the notes get compared. Networks, publishers, and members across the industry put bad actors on the record, and every report makes the next scam harder to run. Prevent losses before they happen. That was the promise on day one, and the whole platform is built to keep it.

One loop. Fewer losses.

Bad actors count on their reputation not traveling. Affchex makes it travel.

01 · REPORT

Members, partner networks, and publishers file reports on bad actors. Anyone can report. The form is public.

02 · AGGREGATE

Every report lands in one database. It updates daily and runs live, around the clock.

03 · SEARCH

Before you sign, search whatever you have on a partner. Any data point. The platform matches it.

04 · MONITOR

Been burned? Add your reports. Affchex watches those actors automatically, and the whole network sees them coming.

AFX · ON THE CATEGORY

“There really isn’t anyone in the space that does what we do.”

Search by anything you have.

A name, an email, a domain, a phone number: feed the platform any data point and it matches against the record. You don’t need a complete profile to catch a match.

Illustrative rendering with example query types. The live record is available to vetted members.

Built for the moment before you sign.

Every capability serves one job: vet the deal before your money moves.

A-01 Search by Anything Query with any data point you hold. If it matches a known bad actor, you know before the deal closes.
A-02 Always Current The database updates daily and serves live data 24/7. What the network learned yesterday protects you today.
A-03 Turn Losses Into Alerts Been burned? Add your reports to the network and Affchex monitors those actors for you automatically.
A-04 API-First The entire platform is API-driven. Wire vetting into your own stack straight from the Swagger docs.
A-05 Talk to a Human Support means chatting with a real person who knows your account. Personalized, not scripted.
A-06 Code-First Docs Documentation with working code examples, so your team integrates quickly and correctly.

Built for every side of the deal.

Networks, buyers, and publishers get burned in different ways. The defense is the same: check first.

FILE · NETWORKS

Networks

You sit in the middle, so risk hits from both directions: publishers pushing fraudulent traffic on one side, advertisers who stop paying once the invoices land on the other.

Screen every new signup against reported non-payment, scam, and fraud histories, matched on any data point from the application. The platform is fully API-driven, so the check can live inside your own onboarding flow. Share your reports, and your rate drops.

FILE · ADVERTISERS & BUYERS

Advertisers & Buyers

You fund the campaign, which means fake traffic and manufactured leads come out of your budget first.

Before you sign with a new affiliate or partner, run them through Affchex and see whether the community has already flagged them. If someone burns you anyway, file your report, and automated monitoring keeps watch on that actor going forward.

FILE · AFFILIATES & PUBLISHERS

Affiliates & Publishers

You spend real money on traffic, then wait on a payout that a shady advertiser or network can simply decline to send.

Search them before you send a single click: a name, a domain, a payment detail, whatever you’re holding. If the record knows them, you know before your budget does.

The record is programmable.

Everything in the platform comes from the API. Run partner checks inside your own onboarding flow: the same search and monitoring the console offers, callable from your stack, documented with working code examples.

Automate your QA on the next deal instead of finding out after the wire clears.

Straight answers.

Vetting is our business. It should be easy to vet us, too.

Q-01Can I get a demo?

Yes. Our business team gives demos and will walk you through search, monitoring, and the API before you commit to anything. Once you’re in, support stays personal: you chat with a real person, not a ticket queue.

Q-02How much does it cost?

One flat rate, billed as a yearly access contract. Companies that share their own data with Affchex get a discounted rate, because every report you contribute makes the whole network safer, and we price it that way.

Q-03Why Affchex?

Because no one else does this. There isn’t another platform in the space that aggregates non-payment, scam, and fraud histories across affiliates, advertisers, and individuals and lets you check a partner before the deal happens. Prevention is the whole product. And Affchex is a Ringba company, backed by the inbound call tracking and analytics platform built for performance marketers.

Q-04How do I report a bad actor?

Use the public report form; anyone can file, member or not. Members go further: add your reports to the network and automated monitoring switches on, so the actors who burned you stay watched.

Q-05Where does the data come from?

From the people who got burned. Community members file reports, and partner networks, publishers, and companies share what they know. These partners want the same thing you do: money kept safe, scammers exposed. Affchex aggregates it into one database, updated daily and live around the clock.

Q-06Who gets access?

Members. Access is gated: you apply and are vetted before you can search. A database of bad actors loses its value if the people in it can browse it, so we check who’s asking. Reporting, by contrast, is open to everyone.

Q-07What can I search with?

Whatever you have. Feed the platform any data point (a name, an email, a company, a domain) and it matches against the database. You don’t need a complete profile to catch a match.

Q-08Can I build Affchex into my own systems?

Yes. The entire platform is API-driven, with Swagger documentation and docs that include working code examples. Run partner checks inside your own onboarding flow instead of switching tabs.

Prevent losses before they happen

Quit losing money.
Start fact checking.

You already have a data point: a name, an email, a domain, whatever came with the deal. That’s all a search takes.
