Locanium
About

The global data layer for your app

One API for geolocation, currency and identity validation — built by developers who were tired of stitching five vendors together.

Locanium started with a frustration every engineering team knows: shipping something simple — localize a price, verify an email, block a fake signup — meant wiring up three or four different vendors, each with its own key, SLA, billing and quirks.

So we built the layer we wanted to use: one REST API, one key, and eight endpoints for geolocation, currency and identity validation — with the latency, uptime and compliance a production system actually needs. Today it powers checkout, onboarding and fraud flows for teams around the world.

What we value

How we build

Developer-first

Clear endpoints, honest docs and SDKs. If it takes more than an hour to integrate, we’ve failed.

Reliable by default

Multi-region, 99.99% uptime and sub-40 ms responses — infrastructure you can build a business on.

Privacy by design

We don’t resell lookups, we process in-memory, and we offer EU data residency and DPAs.

Global from day one

Coverage in 240+ countries across geolocation, currency and identity — one integration, worldwide.

Our story

From one endpoint to a global layer

  1. 2019

    The frustration

    Locanium starts with one endpoint and one belief: location and identity data should be a single integration, not five.

  2. 2021

    API v1 is GA

    All eight endpoints — geolocation, timezone, currency and validation — go generally available under one key.

  3. 2022

    Built for compliance

    EU data residency, custom DPAs and a published sub-processor list arrive for regulated teams.

  4. 2023

    Sub-40 ms, everywhere

    New points of presence bring median latency under 40 ms across most regions.

  5. 2024

    99.99% and accountable

    A public status page and an uptime SLA teams can put their name behind.

  6. 2026

    240+ countries

    Coverage across geolocation, currency and identity — a genuinely global data layer.
