Prove has established a modern way of proving identity in a mobile-first manner. This is driven by a single OAuth API hosted within the UK in the cloud.

Within a zero-knowledge GDPR-compliant framework, Prove provides full end-to-end solutions as well as individual APIs to tackle specific needs.

Prove’s Phone-Centric Identity approach is based on the PRO Model of Identity Verification and Authentication:

Possession can be determined through a number of options. Prove provides traditional methods such as SMS OTP and voice OTP. However, it also has a game-changing solution—mobile authentication—which can prove possession of the mobile without OTP usage. This provides a unique experience of removing the security challenges of SMS OTP while also creating the best possible customer experience for journeys such as onboarding, digital servicing, and enabling passwordless login.

Reputation is determined based on over 10 years of mobile intelligence. This is done using data attribute analysis to establish a Trust Score™, a dynamic behavioral and contextual risk score, aligned with a mobile number. It also takes into consideration fraud vectors such as number porting and SIM swapping.

Ownership is establishing the owner of the mobile in question. This is done using established routes both within the mobile operator community as well as other strategic partners who support the Prove platform. This enables Prove to provide KYC checking using just a phone number.

Prove supports a multitude of use cases in the UK, including:

  • Digital onboarding that improves accuracy and risk detection

  • Frictionless mobile app registration

  • Inbound call centre risk reduction

  • Digital servicing, such as password resets & account updates
