Reverse Geocoding API

Turn coordinates into a readable location.

Look up the address information available for a latitude and longitude. The result gives location context; it does not prove that a person or business is present there.

FROM REQUEST TO REVIEW

A clear path through the process.

  1. Collect coordinates appropriately

    Obtain location data with the necessary notice and permission.

  2. Request the address

    Submit both coordinates through the documented operation.

  3. Review the context

    Check the returned address against the purpose of the lookup and any other evidence.

A CLOSER LOOK

What you can do with Reverse Geocoding.

See how each feature works.

  1. Coordinate-based lookup

    Submit latitude and longitude to request the available address result.

  2. Valid geographic ranges

    The contract accepts latitude from -90 to 90 and longitude from -180 to 180.

  3. Readable address context

    Use the provider's address output where available to make coordinate records easier to understand.

  4. Optional case reference

    Attach a verification reference when the lookup belongs to a visit, application or service case.

  5. Controlled data use

    Keep collection, access and retention of location data within your approved purpose.

FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Take the next step with the right details.

See the documentation for request fields, responses and setup instructions.

  • Check the published inputs, response format and error handling.
  • Keep credentials on your server and collect only authorised data.
  • Confirm provider access and deployment requirements with BankU.

Use location data only for an authorised purpose. An address result is geographic context, not proof of residence or physical presence.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you get started.

Common questions about Reverse Geocoding.

Does it prove a customer's address?

No. Reverse geocoding returns location information for supplied coordinates. It does not prove residence, ownership or a person's presence.

Does the API collect location from a device?

The documented request accepts latitude and longitude supplied by your application. Device permission and location collection are your application's responsibility.

Will every coordinate return a complete postal address?

That is not guaranteed. Coverage and the level of address detail depend on the provider and the supplied location.
