Number Verify

A new, quick and secure verification channel: Number Verify. Users only need to fill out their phone number, and the verification itself will happen in the background between mobile operators and the SIM card of the customer's phone. This makes it more safe and secure than traditional authentication methods that rely on passwords, knowledge-based authentication, physical tokens, or OTPs.

  1. Verify users silently in the background

  2. Simplify the authentication process

  3. Reduce fraud

Identity Match

Identity Match

Identity Match uses a customer's mobile number to verify their name, address, postcode, and date of birth against live data from their mobile network operator. This allows businesses to confirm mobile number ownership using first-party data while ensuring privacy through hashing and compliance with consent guidelines like GDPR.

  1. Verify customer data

  2. Secure Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) policies

  3. Grow your database by verifying more users securely
