pbVerify\u2019s PhoneID & Score service is now available via our website, allowing users to input a mobile phone number and get data back as to the individual the number is associated with, as well as new additional data now available with our latest update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously only available as an API (application programming interface), PhoneID & Score has always offered data intelligence about an individual\u2019s device and contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our latest update, as well as opening the service up to any individual who wants to match a mobile phone number to a user via our website, is the addition of the person\u2019s date of birth, and the telecoms provider (telco) their number is linked to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PhoneID & Score works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The PhoneID & Score services gives individuals and businesses detailed and actionable global phone number and subscriber data intelligence. For businesses, this allows them to reinforce authentications, evaluate fraud risks, and enhance overall user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three parts to the service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Phone number identification (PhoneID):<\/strong>
    You input a mobile phone number, and the system returns data about the phone number\u2019s owner, their device, their telco and their date of birth. In addition to the benefits of verification and risk management, this allows the user to determine the best channel for message delivery.

    Additionally, PhoneID\u2019s SIM Swap feature allows you to find out whether a phone number\u2019s SIM has been swapped and if so, at what point. The API then evaluates the likelihood of the SIM swap having been done to commit fraud, using a scale from 1 to 4.

    For more on the SIM Swap feature, see our blog \u201cpbVerify bolsters product stack with PhoneID & Score\u201d HERE<\/a>.

    <\/li>
  2. Phone Score<\/strong>
    Again, after inputting a mobile phone number, you are able to get data regarding the usage of the number, and whether or not this raises suspicion. For example, if the number has been registered to different individuals, if a SIM swap has taken place on more than one occasion, or the number is linked to a high volume of SMSes (bulk SMS) or voice calls, and whether or not there are any payment issues related to the number\u2019s owner (whether the number has been blocked due to bank or carrier flags), etc.

    For businesses, the idea behind this is that, by registering fake accounts, criminals can attack legitimate users. By identifying and blocking fraudsters at account registration, businesses effectively streamline the process for genuine users. The \u201cScore\u201d part of pbVerify\u2019s PhoneID & Score API acts as a flagging (vetting) agent, allowing businesses to identify bad actors who aim to use their account for phishing attacks, promo abuse, and other fraud.

    <\/li>
  3. COMING SOON: Contact Match
    <\/strong>Contact Match will allow you to input the individual\u2019s mobile number and can then match the individual\u2019s name details to the contact number linked to the carrier. When checking this, you validate the contact against the details at the network carrier. This gives you the ability to verify consumers\u2019 details with around 80% of global telecommunications carriers (including local carriers Vodacom, MTN, CellC, Telkom). This can be used in conjunction with all PhoneID and Score products from pbVerify.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    For a business, falling victim to fraud is potentially ruinous. pbVerify\u2019s suite of products help businesses stop fraud in its tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
