- The partnership lets businesses verify that a person really is who they say they are using mobile network data.
- SONIO provides software that companies use to check customer identities when they sign up for services (like gambling apps, banks, or fintech platforms).
- By integrating XConnect’s data into SONIO’s system, companies can now check things like whether a phone number is real, whether the SIM card was recently swapped, and whether the phone matches the person’s identity.
- The result? Stronger fraud protection and improved identity checks through one connection instead of integrating multiple systems.
XConnect, a Somos Company that provides numbering intelligence and mobile identity solutions, has partnered with SONIO, to integrate XConnect network APIs into SONIO’s Identity Orchestration Platform.
The partnership supports regulated sectors including Online Sports Betting and gambling, fintech, banking and enterprise with enhanced onboarding, stronger fraud prevention and improved compliance through a single integration.
SONIO customers gain access to XConnect’s SIM Swap, MPM KYC Match, and Number Verify API services to strengthen network-level identity and fraud signals. This single integration into SONIO’s Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform makes rich network data available to SONIO’s enterprise clients without the need to build and maintain separate connections to multiple operators or identity vendors.
Mark Harvey, Chief Identity Officer, XConnect explains:
“As digital onboarding accelerates and fraud activity becomes more advanced, enterprises require faster, more reliable ways to establish and maintain trust. By combining SONIO’s flexible onboarding and compliance workflows with XConnect’s live SIM Swap, MPM KYC Match and Number Verify APIs, enterprises can make stronger decisions that drive trust and minimise integration effort. Our goal is to empower organisations across key geographies and industries with the tools they need to overcome evolving risks and challenges.”
SONIO’s orchestration layer combined with XConnect’s real-time operator data enables enterprises to decrease security and compliance gaps. They benefit from reduced fraud risk with faster onboarding, fewer call drop-offs, stronger identity assurance, and unified verification workflows under one API call. For iGaming and gambling clients, XConnect’s MPM KYC Match improves compliance and age verification and addresses bonus abuse and fraud.
Xhejn Dule, Chief Sales Officer, SONIO explains the benefits for customers, stating:
“Integrating XConnect’s network-based identity signals into SONIO’s Orchestration Platform gives our customers direct access to trusted mobile network operators’ data within their existing workflows. By working with XConnect, we’re making it easy for highly regulated sectors to take control of their identity strategies and adapt to complex environments. Together, our partnership is helping businesses to combat fraud, boost compliance and keep customer experience simple and seamless.”
XConnect operates globally and is trusted by carriers, banks, platforms and enterprises. Its Network APIs deliver critical signals, including SIM Swap detection, Call Forwarding checks, Number Verify and MPM KYC Match, all through a single integration, enabling enterprises to consume live network data efficiently and at scale.
This partnership will help both companies’ clients onboard their own customers faster, reduce fraud, and meet regulatory requirements while keeping the user experience simple.
