Mobile Phone Number Verification API To Verify Customer Identity

As a business, a customer mobile telephone number is often a key pillar in your Know Your Customer (KYC) engagement strategy, whether to manage notifications, ordering or fulfillment.

However, the objective of building 2-way trust in this relationship is becoming harder to achieve as customers expect quick and easy access to their online accounts. For a business, how do you know that the mobile phone number that you’re being provided is genuine, belongs to the person giving it to you and has not been compromised for the purposes of fraud? For a consumer, how do you know that your number has not been hijacked and used without your knowledge?

Verify from TMT Analysis

Verify is a powerful suite of mobile phone number verifications APIs, offering a range of mobile intelligence data attributes centred around a customer’s mobile telephone number. Through our validation checks mobile data can help you to confirm a customer’s identity, the authenticity of the mobile phone number provided and identify when suspicious activity, such as account takeover, might have taken place.

Verify blends together several authoritative data sources, including data directly from the Mobile Network Operators, to offer the most comprehensive possible answers to your questions. All whilst adding little or no friction to your end-user experience and overall customer journey. This allows you to check a mobile number for fraud in less than a second, within your existing customer?onboarding process and Know Your Customer?(KYC) checks.

As part of your?KYC verification process, we support customers with our industry leading knowledge of the global mobile number intelligence eco-system. This is achieved through the use of our own data that offers insight on billions of global mobile phone numbers and how we combine different sources to best effect.

Verify data attributes can be used in a variety of intelligent digital onboarding, KYC, account takeover and anti money laundering scenarios to reduce friction and increase trust throughout your user experience. These include:

Verify On-boarding

Allows you to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and safely on-board customers, reduce mistakes, fake accounts and incorrect information by confirming the ownership and history of a number, including relating it to a real person.

Verify Protect

Guards against fraud by alerting you to the potential that a device has been compromised, through attacks such as SIM Swap.

Verify Data Cleansing

Fast & Accurate Customer Verification for Onboarding

On-board new customers with low friction and high assurance levels using our mobile number verification data.

From the data that you have already gathered from your potential customer TMT Verify can tell you if the number:

·?????? Is Real

·?????? Is Active

·?????? Matches the personal information you have for it, such as name, address, date of birth

SIM Card Fraud Protection

Guard against SIM Swap fraud and other forms of Account Takeover.

SIM Swap fraud attacks are a growing concern for businesses who need to prevent customers from the risks of account takeover. For a given phone number Verify Protect can alert you in real-time to potential fraud?risks associated with these attacks.

This means that you only need to increase the amount of SIM card fraud prevention and account takeover checks for an individual customer, as you detect suspicious activity on their account.

Use Case – Frictionless Customer Onboarding:

If you are an organisation who uses a mobile number as a communication or fulfilment channel for your customers, then being able to both check a number is genuine, and tie that number to a real person is a check that can save time and ultimately money.

If you can perform the check without the direct involvement of your new potential customer, then you are achieving that delicate balance of increasing security whilst maintaining a low-friction user experience, which is also an important aspect in your ongoing customer retention strategy.

Verify can provide you with a greater level of assurance around the number than you have today, allowing you to know that when you communicate with your new customer using the number that they have provided, your communication is going to the right person.
