We're excited to announce a major upgrade to our fraud detection capabilities with the integration of advanced mobile network intelligence. These new features provide unprecedented insights into mobile-based risks, helping you identify and prevent fraud before it happens.
New Mobile Intelligence Capabilities
SIM Swap Detection
Detect recent SIM card changes that could indicate account takeover attempts. Our system alerts you when a phone number has been ported to a new SIM within the last 7, 30, or 90 days, allowing you to implement additional verification steps for high-risk transactions.
Phone Number Age Verification
Understand how long a phone number has been active with the current carrier. Newly activated numbers often correlate with higher fraud risk, while established numbers indicate stability and legitimacy.
Carrier and Line Type Intelligence
Identify the carrier, whether the number is prepaid or postpaid, and if it's a VoIP or traditional mobile line. This data helps build a comprehensive risk profile for each user.
Enhanced Risk Scoring Algorithm
Our updated risk scoring algorithm now incorporates these mobile signals to provide more accurate fraud predictions:
- Real-time Risk Assessment: Instant evaluation of mobile-related risks
- Contextual Analysis: Risk scores adjusted based on transaction type and amount
- Machine Learning Enhancement: Continuously improving accuracy through pattern recognition
- Customizable Thresholds: Set your own risk tolerance levels
Real-World Use Cases
Account Recovery
When users request password resets or account recovery, check for recent SIM swaps to prevent unauthorized access attempts.
High-Value Transactions
Apply stricter verification for transactions from recently activated phone numbers or prepaid lines.
New Account Creation
Screen new registrations for suspicious mobile patterns that indicate synthetic identity fraud.
