Precisely Verify (Address Verification)
"Deliver accurate, consistent, contextual data to your business - wherever and whenever it's needed." [1]
Precisely Verify is an enterprise address validation API from Precisely that covers 250+ countries, with USPS CASS Cycle O, Canada Post SERP, and Royal Mail PAF certifications alongside FedRAMP authorization for government use. It handles address standardization, geocoding, autocomplete, and bulk geo-addressing via a REST API with OAuth2 auth and SDKs for Python, Java, Node.js, C#, Android, and iOS. Pricing is not published and requires a custom quote, though a one-time 30-day free trial with 2,500 credits is available without a credit card. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 compliance, making it suited to regulated industries and high-volume enterprise data pipelines.
