Fairvisor for FinTech & Payments

What Fairvisor Does for FinTech

Per-Partner Quotas

Enforce limits by counterparty, not just by IP or key:

Request budgets per partner integration
Separate rate envelopes for prod vs sandbox traffic
Hard stops with deterministic failure — no silent overruns

ASN-Type Policies

Differentiate traffic by network origin type:

Residential vs hosting vs datacenter signals at the edge
Stricter enforcement for automation-originated traffic
Configurable trust tiers by ASN category

Audit Trail

Every enforcement action is logged with context:

Which policy fired, on which identity, at what time
Cost impact per partner per window
Exportable for compliance and incident response workflows

Predictable Failure Over Silent Overage

Budget-aware enforcement means failures are deterministic:

Partners get a 429 with policy context, not a mystery error
Overage triggers a defined playbook — throttle, block, notify
No invoice surprises from third-party API cost spikes

Spike and Credential Stuffing Defense

Rate shapes that catch bots and burst abuse:

Velocity controls on login and auth endpoints
Burst shaping with cooldown windows
IP reputation + ASN signals to distinguish legitimate load from automated probes

Sandbox and Production Isolation

Separate policies for sandbox and production traffic prevent test bursts from consuming production budgets. Distinct quotas, keys, and alerting channels keep partner onboarding noise away from live transaction paths.

Audit Trail Example

What Fairvisor logs when a partner triggers a budget limit:

{
  "event": "limit_triggered",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-14T03:17:42Z",
  "limit_key": "partner:acme-payments",
  "action": "throttle",
  "policy_version": "v47",
  "rule": "per-partner-daily-budget",
  "consumed": 0.94,
  "threshold": 0.95,
  "request": {
    "path": "/v2/transactions/verify",
    "method": "POST",
    "asn_type": "hosting"
  }
}

Every entry includes: which partner, which rule, which action, which policy version, what the request looked like. Exportable for compliance and IR workflows. → Decision tracing | Platform governance

Who This Is For

Payments infrastructure with partner API access
Open banking platforms with regulated data endpoints
FinTech products that call expensive third-party APIs (KYC, fraud, enrichment)
Any financial API with multi-tenant or multi-partner traffic

FAQ

How does Fairvisor enforce per-partner quotas?

Limits are defined by counterparty identity — API key, org_id, partner name in JWT claims — not just IP. Each partner has isolated counters and a defined quota. When they hit their limit, they get a 429 with policy context. Other partners are entirely unaffected.

What is ASN-type enforcement?

Fairvisor classifies inbound traffic by network origin: residential ISP, hosting/datacenter, mobile carrier. Different rate limits apply per class. Hosting-originated traffic gets stricter defaults by default — most credential stuffing and automated probing comes from there. Configurable per named ASN or ASN category.

How complete is the audit trail for a limit event?

Every enforcement action logs: timestamp, identity (partner/key/user), policy version, rule that fired, action taken, request path, ASN type, and cost impact. Exportable for compliance and IR workflows. → Decision tracing | Platform governance

How quickly can a compromised partner be shut down?

Kill-switch is intended for rapid containment with role-gated actions and audit logging. Validate propagation timing in your own deployment and runbooks.

Does Fairvisor integrate with our identity provider?

Yes. Limits follow JWT claims from your existing auth tokens — org_id, partner_id, key_type, or any custom claim. No coupling between your auth system and Fairvisor’s enforcement logic.

Can we enforce different limits for card checks vs money movement endpoints?

Yes. Policies can be scoped by route/path groups and partner identity, so low-risk endpoints keep higher throughput while sensitive payment flows use stricter limits and tighter burst controls.
