Battle card

Talking points for a live sales call.

Fingerprint (formerly FingerprintJS) is a device-identity platform that generates highly accurate persistent browser + device fingerprints for fraud prevention. Core product prevents payment fraud by linking known chargeback history to persistent device identities. **Recently added proximity / device-cluster detection** to identify device-farm + bot-network fraud — extending into coordinated attack scenarios. **Categorised as Complement, not Compete.** Fingerprint answers *"which device?"*; GeoComply answers *"where is that device, and is it allowed to be there?"* — a natural co-sell. Fingerprint is already integrated into many fintech stacks GeoComply is targeting. **Watchpoint:** if their proximity / device-cluster feature evolves toward physical- location clustering (not just behavioural-graph clustering), the competitive overlap with GeoComply grows. Currently it is device-graph only — not location- based.

Watch out for

• Best-in-class persistent device ID — survives incognito sessions, browser updates, device resets in most cases.
• 100+ device signals: hardware, OS, browser config, canvas/WebGL, audio fingerprint, fonts.
• Proximity / device-cluster detection (recent) — device-farm + bot-network signal.
• Pre-built integrations: Cloudflare Workers, Salesforce, Segment. SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native.
• Strong developer experience and broad fintech penetration — natural co-sell partner.

How we win

• No location capability — Fingerprint explicitly does not collect or use GPS, Wi-Fi, cell, or IP geolocation signals.
• VPN/proxy detection limited to browser-level signals only.
• Proximity detection is device-graph + behavioural clustering, not physical location.
• No AML, no compliance audit log, no jurisdiction enforcement.

Complement, not Compete

GeoComply's internal classification: Fingerprint is a complement. The co-sell story — "who is this device + where is it allowed to be" — is strong, and Fingerprint is already in many fintech stacks GeoComply is targeting.

Talking points

1. Co-sell, not displacement. Fingerprint covers device identity; GeoComply covers location. Joint deployment creates a complete device-location identity layer neither vendor offers alone.
2. Watch the proximity-detection feature. If it evolves toward physical-location clustering, competitive overlap grows. Currently it's device-graph only.
3. No location capability means Fingerprint cannot be confused as a geo-compliance substitute. Easy positioning conversation.
