Connect Digital Financial Crime to the Physical World.
Add location intelligence to complex fraud and financial crime investigations.
Financial institutions have access to extensive transactional, account, identity, and digital intelligence. But those sources don't always reveal the physical-world relationships behind suspicious activity.
Reveal adds a location-based intelligence layer, helping qualified investigative teams uncover movement patterns, geographic relationships, recurring activity, and new leads that can be evaluated alongside existing financial crime intelligence.
Transactions Show What Happened. Location Can Add Context.
Financial institutions generate enormous amounts of intelligence about transactions, accounts, devices, identities, and digital behavior. Yet complex investigations often require analysts to understand relationships that aren't visible within financial records alone.
Location intelligence introduces a physical-world dimension.
By examining commercially available device observations across relevant locations and time periods, investigators can explore movement, recurring locations, geographic relationships, and patterns that may help connect seemingly unrelated activity or identify areas for further investigation.
Reveal complements financial intelligence—it does not replace transaction monitoring, identity verification, AML systems, or professional investigative judgment.
Add Geographic Context to the Investigation.
01 — Start With an Investigative Indicator
A known location, business, facility, event, time period, device identifier, or other geographic information relevant to a legitimate financial crime investigation.
02 — Explore Relevant Activity
Examine commercially available device observations associated with relevant places and time periods.
03 — Identify Patterns & Relationships
Explore recurring locations, movement patterns, shared geographic activity, and other relationships that may add context to existing financial intelligence.
04 — Develop the Investigation
Use those insights to help prioritize additional records analysis, OSINT, interviews, account review, internal investigation, referrals, or other appropriate investigative methods.
Where Location Intelligence Can Add Value
Fraud Networks & Organized Schemes
Explore geographic relationships, recurring locations, and movement patterns that may help investigators identify connections among individuals, devices, businesses, or activity associated with coordinated fraud.
Scam & Fraud Operations
Add physical-world context to investigations involving suspected scam operations, facilitators, infrastructure, or locations associated with coordinated fraudulent activity.
Money Mule & Facilitator Networks
Explore recurring geographic relationships and shared activity that may help investigators develop leads around suspected facilitators or networks moving illicit proceeds.
Account & Identity-Related Fraud
Use location intelligence as an additional investigative input when examining complex activity involving suspected account takeover, synthetic or stolen identities, or coordinated misuse of financial accounts.
ATM, Branch & Physical-Location Investigations
Examine device activity and recurring geographic patterns around relevant ATMs, branches, businesses, or other physical locations when place and movement are material to an investigation.
Complex Financial Crime Investigations
Add location intelligence to broader investigations involving multiple subjects, entities, locations, jurisdictions, or other interconnected activity where financial records provide only part of the picture.
Another Dimension of Financial Crime Intelligence
Reveal complements existing financial crime resources by adding geographic and movement-based context.
Financial investigations often draw from multiple intelligence sources. Transaction records can reveal the flow of funds. KYC and identity information provide known customer context. Device and cyber intelligence reveal digital activity. OSINT and public records can uncover people, businesses, and relationships.
Location intelligence helps investigators understand where relevant activity intersects in the physical world.
Used alongside these existing resources, Reveal can help investigative teams identify relationships worth exploring, ask more informed questions, and prioritize the next steps in a complex investigation.
Geographic Discovery
Explore device observations associated with relevant locations and time periods.
Historical Movement Analysis
Examine historical observations to identify recurring locations and movement patterns.
Relationship Analysis
Surface geographic relationships and recurring activity that may warrant further investigation.
Cross-Jurisdictional Context
Explore movement and activity when investigations extend across cities, regions, or international boundaries.
Investigative Flexibility
Move from broad geographic discovery toward more focused analysis as additional intelligence develops.
Location Intelligence Without Replacing Your Existing Stack.
Reveal is an investigative analytics resource—not a transaction-monitoring, AML-screening, identity-verification, fraud-scoring, or automated decision system.
Location Intelligence Is One Part of the Investigation.
A device observation or geographic relationship does not independently establish:
Identity
A device identifier should not automatically be assumed to represent a particular individual.
Intent
Presence or movement alone does not explain why activity occurred.
Financial Crime
A geographic pattern does not independently establish fraud, money laundering, or other unlawful activity.
Customer or Account Outcome
Reveal does not determine whether an account should be restricted, closed, reported, or otherwise subjected to an adverse action.
Reveal helps investigators develop leads and add context. Findings should be evaluated alongside financial records, identity information, other intelligence sources, and appropriate investigative processes.
Financial Crime Doesn't Respect Borders.
Fraud networks, scam operations, facilitators, businesses, infrastructure, and financial flows can span multiple jurisdictions.
Fog provides SDK-derived location intelligence across 200+ countries and territories, with low-latency Location Stream capabilities available across 40+ international markets and support from a network of trusted regional partners.
For qualified financial crime teams operating internationally, this can provide another intelligence layer for examining cross-border movement and geographic relationships alongside existing financial intelligence.
Powerful Intelligence. Responsible Investigations.
Financial institutions make consequential decisions affecting customers, accounts, transactions, and regulatory obligations. Location intelligence should inform professional investigation—not substitute for it.
Fog provides commercially available device location intelligence within a framework emphasizing responsible sourcing, customer qualification, appropriate access controls, permissible use, and compliance with applicable requirements.
Reveal is designed to help qualified investigators develop and evaluate leads, with findings considered alongside other available information and appropriate investigative processes.
