PRO –
Proving Possession, Reputation and Ownership.
Possession is determined through a number of options. Prove provide traditional methods such as SMS OTP and Voice OTP. However, they also have a game changing solution, mobile authentication. This provides a method of proving possession of the mobile without the requirement for visible OTP’s or usage of SMS. This provides a unique experience of removing the security challenges of SMS OTP’s whilst also creating the best possible customer experience for journeys such as onboarding and digital servicing.
Reputation is determined based on over 10 years of mobile intelligence. This is using at it’s heart, data attribute analysis to establish a trust score aligned with a mobile number. Taking in to consideration fraud vectors such as number porting and SIM Swapping.
Ownership is establishing the owner of the mobile in question. This is using established routes both within the mobile operator community as well as other strategic partners who support the Prove platform with insight. This enables Prove to provide KYC checking against a number.
