Full analysis
Overview
Beacon Bank is a Japanese B2B real-world behavior-data platform that converts GPS- and beacon-derived movement data into analytics, SDK integrations, advertising measurement, retail-media solutions, and smart-city services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions, phishing indicators, brand-impersonation signals, or deceptive financial solicitation were observed. The homepage presents a coherent corporate model built around location-data infrastructure rather than deposits or promised returns, and describes approximately 110 million user IDs, more than 30 billion monthly data points, over 2.1 million registered beacons, and consent-based, privacy-preserving processing. The available historical record is continuous and consistent with an established service, supporting a legitimate identity assessment.
- Domain registration dates to 2016, with an authoritative age of approximately 9.79 years.
- The domain has 62 archive snapshots spanning 2016-10-17 through 2026-07-17, covering 11 tracked years.
- The homepage is classified as a corporate product landing page with no detected phishing, deceptive financial, or impersonation indicators.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site identifies unerry as the operating company and provides corporate contact functionality. It describes opt-in data collection, statistical processing, and suppression of small samples, which are relevant transparency measures for a location-data service. No financial license or registration number is presented on the analyzed page; because the service is presented as a B2B data platform rather than a deposit-taking or investment business, this is a procurement and privacy-review item rather than evidence of illegitimacy. External reputation checks were clean, and no broker-dataset match was identified.
- Served from AS396982, Google Cloud Platform / Google LLC, US.
- TLS certificate issued by YR2 using DV validation, valid to 2026-09-16T15:10:58+00:00.
- External reputation evaluation recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections; traffic rank recorded as 118144.
- The page provides an “お問い合わせ” contact route and describes opt-in, non-identifying data use.
What to Verify Next
For enterprise engagement, confirm the current corporate relationship with unerry through official corporate materials and obtain the applicable privacy, data-processing, retention, and SDK terms. Where location data will support advertising, retail-media, or smart-city activity, procurement should also confirm contractual responsibilities and consent controls.
- The use-method section documents iOS and Android SDK integration, iBeacon registration, and combinations with advertising, media-viewing, and purchasing data.
- The site directs prospective customers to an inquiry process for detailed Beacon Bank information.
- The page states that users consent through app terms before data collection and that statistical and small-sample safeguards are applied.
Summary Verdict
Beacon Bank presents as a legitimate, established, high-trust corporate service with a coherent business purpose, sustained historical presence, clean external reputation, and no observed contradiction or impersonation signal. The evidence supports normal business engagement and standard account use.
Infrastructure Integrity
The hosting and encrypted-transport posture are consistent with mainstream cloud infrastructure and valid TLS protection. These controls mitigate exposure and support operational integrity, but remain supporting signals rather than independent proof of legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Normal interaction and standard service engagement are appropriate, subject to ordinary enterprise contracting and privacy due diligence for any deployment involving location data.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about beaconbank.jp at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
