Across the globe, digital identities are a critical part of our mobile and digital interactions. The data they hold is invaluable for providers, enterprises and brands, helping them curate and personalize experiences, enrich services and protect their ecosystems and processes. However, their vital role in a range of use cases (and their expanding footprints) can make them harder to manage — but keeping our digital identities secure and manageable is paramount.
netnumber, as a global leader in Number Intelligence as a Service (NIaaS) solutions, has long since recognized the synergies between phone number intelligence data and digital identities, and has just announced how they’re combining these two powerful tools to deliver global mobile benefits.
Today, netnumber announces new, advanced digital identity capabilities within its suite of NIaaS services as a result of a strategic partnership with Sekura.id, a globally recognized digital identity service provider. This delivers powerful digital identity services that are ideal for a range of enterprises, CPaaS providers, Mobile Network Operators, financial institutions and beyond.
From KYC matching to SIM swap detection and number verification, netnumber’s new services help customers effectively master user onboarding, account takeover detection and identity fraud prevention, offering capabilities that optimize every part of the user journey and business ecosystem.
Steve Legge, netnumber’s CEO and President, noted, “Our broad range of global phone number data services enables us to pinpoint in-depth, real-time information about a phone number to support many ecosystems, but importantly, these capabilities are also vital for creating more complete, high-value digital identity practices.” He continued, “Phone numbers are present at almost every single point of engagement with an end user and are also in demand for a real-time response. Our existing services already help enhance customer experiences, streamline operations and reduce costs, so this is a natural but indispensable next step.”
Digital Identity, NIaaS and Partnership
Built to deliver authoritative, accurate and pre-verified mobile operator data, these digital identity services complement netnumber’s NIaaS offering, empowering customers to seamlessly meet evolving requirements from end to end. For example, account takeover fraud is comprehensively mitigated by combining Number View (inter-operator) with SIM Swap Detection (intra-carrier) capabilities or Carrier ID can be used to identify suspicious operators with limited requirements to set up new subscribers before using KYC Matching to determine information accuracy.
The strategic partnership with Sekura.id, a key player in the digital identity community, further enables service providers to enhance their digital identity services. As a result, netnumber can enhance digital identity insights by aligning them with phone number intelligence opportunities, expanding accuracy within end-user journeys and building advanced future-focused services.
“Today marks a transformative step in mobile identity,” notes Mark Harvey, CEO of Sekura.id. “Formalizing our partnership with netnumber and integrating our cutting-edge services enables us to bring together the best of both companies’ expertise, giving businesses unique, unprecedented confidence in their user verification processes. Together with netnumber, we are raising the bar for what’s possible in real-time, mobile-led identity solutions.”For a more in-depth look at the new services and use cases, don’t miss netnumber’s new press release.
