Netnumber and TMT ID have established a strategic alliance to integrate phone number intelligence with mobile fraud signals for global anti-fraud efforts.
This partnership was announced as part of an initiative to bolster global mobile fraud prevention by leveraging the combined strengths of both organisations.
Under this arrangement, TMT ID’s comprehensive mobile fraud indicators and digital identity insights are aligned with Netnumber’s phone number expertise and routing knowledge. The collaboration is designed to enhance data integration without consolidating operations or eliminating existing business lines within each company.
Closing intelligence gaps through combined data sets
According to the official press statement, accurate and consistent data are crucial for real-time risk assessment in mobile fraud prevention. Phone number intelligence plays a pivotal role in communication networks, affecting functions such as portability, routing, and billing. As digital identity verification methods advance, phone number intelligence has taken on greater importance.
Gaps in risk assessments can arise when fraud signals and phone number data are sourced independently from diverse markets. The partnership is aimed at bridging these gaps by enabling the seamless interaction of both datasets, thus improving the reliability of information provided to anti-fraud systems without disrupting existing operations.
The integration brings together TMT ID’s fraud signals and digital identity APIs with Netnumber’s phone number intelligence and routing services, especially focused on the US market. This is intended to broaden geographic coverage and enhance signal quality across global communication ecosystems.
Strategic partnership in context
Mobile fraud techniques are increasingly sophisticated and widespread, prompting a need for robust data infrastructure within anti-fraud systems. Authoritative number data, when paired with validated fraud signals, can lead to more precise risk evaluations across different markets.
Both companies have previously collaborated, with this formal partnership marking an evolution in their relationship rather than initiating a new business venture. They will continue to serve their respective customer bases independently, while the partnership enhances intelligence capabilities for both entities.
This agreement aligns with broader trends in the fraud prevention industry where collaboration between specialized data providers is growing as a means of addressing coverage gaps, especially across jurisdictions where comprehensive visibility is lacking.
