Phone Verification

Authoritatively connect a user's phone number to their identity using trusted and verified data sources.

What's the difference between this service and IDMatch?

In short, the main differences between this service and IDMatch are:
  • The Goals - this service knows that your main objective is matching a phone number to a target. Therefore, this service will continue to search sources until that goal can either be confirmed or denied.
​
  • The Required Inputs - this service only requires a first name, last name and phone number on input to process, but can accept all other target attributes and will attempt to match anything sent in the request.
​
  • The Data Sources - this service uses additional phone number specific data sources to increase your success rate.

Can I verify a user to their phone number outside of the United States?

Yes. There are many countries outside of the US where Veratad has access to phone information. Please see the country coverage below:
Using this service coupled with PhoneMatch5.0.SMS and/or PhoneMatch5.0.Call is a great way to verify that the number belongs to your customer and that they have possession of the device to increase identity verification confidence.
