NGAGE’s customers span multiple industries, demonstrating the company’s ability to fulfilll a wide range of enterprise needs.
Strengthening Digital Identity and Fraud Prevention
For banks and fintech companies alike, network intelligence offers them additional layer of information to verify and assess risk of their customers. For instance, number verification and SIM-swap detection capabilities can help to identify and prevent fraud, while at the same time improving the authentication of customers.
Moreover, the use of network APIs can help financial institutions to reduce KYC friction and accelerate digital identity verification processes. As a result, banks and fintech companies can improve their security posture while at the same time not putting hurdles in front of their customers.
The collaboration builds upon Comviva’s established footprint in financial services domain. The company has a deep experience in supporting digital financial services ecosystems across the globe. Leveraging this know-how in combination with the network intelligence, the partners aim to address real-world challenges around identity verification, fraud prevention and customer onboarding.
Standardising Network APIs Across Financial Services
Peter Arbitter, Chief Commercial Officer, Aduna Global, said, “Standardisation is essential to scaling the use of network APIs across financial services. Aduna brings together CAMARA-standardised APIs from leading mobile operators, simplifying access to trusted network intelligence across operators and markets. Working with Comviva and Tech Mahindra makes it easier for banks and fintechs to embed these capabilities into customer verification, fraud prevention and onboarding processes, helping them strengthen security while reducing friction for their customers.”
Standardisation remains essential for expanding network API adoption across financial services. Aduna brings together CAMARA-standardised APIs from leading mobile operators. Consequently, financial institutions can access trusted network intelligence across different operators and markets.
Through this collaboration, Comviva, Aduna and Tech Mahindra are aiming to empower banks and fintechs to integrate network APIs into their existing workflows. These integrations can improve digital identity verification, increase fraud detection and streamline onboarding. At the same time, financial institutions can make a concerted effort to balance stronger security with easy customer experiences.
New Applications for Network Intelligence
The partnership will speed up the adoption of Network API in financial services markets. The companies will also explore other uses beyond identity verification and fraud prevention. The potential areas are lending risk, payments intelligence, and other services that benefit from real-time network information.
These applications can help financial institutions make better decisions. They could also provide secure and seamless digital experiences across banking and fintech services. And as financial services migrate to digital, network intelligence can deliver additional insights for authentication, risk assessment and transaction security.
