Intel
Turn telco data into a competitive advantage
Every trust decision is only as good as the data behind it. Intel API gives you direct access to verified identity signals from mobile operators to let real users through faster and stop fraud before it starts.
A verified number is just the beginning
Mobile operators hold verified identity on every subscriber. Who they are, how long they've been a customer, whether their SIM just changed. That data has always existed. Until now, most companies couldn't access it.
Fraud in the blind spot
A number passing OTP says nothing about whether it was just stolen, recently recycled, or belongs to the person claiming it.
Verfication walls lose customers
Document uploads, manual reviews, and repeated checks add steps that cost you conversion especially at onboarding.
Too many vendors, no shared picture
Fraud checks, identity verification, and silent auth come from separate tools that don't talk to each other.
Intel
Five features. Each one answers a question your flow couldn't answer before
Use them individually or combine them. Every product pulls directly from the operator, verified, real-time, and ready to act on.
Lookup
Is this a real, routable number?
What you learn
Whether a number is active, what type it is (mobile, landline, or VoIP), which operator carries it, whether it has been ported recently, and whether it is a temporary or disposable number.
What you do with it
Block fake account creation from disposable numbers at registration. Stop routing verification codes to numbers that will never receive them. Catch recently ported numbers as an early fraud signal before anything else runs. Clean your database before campaigns and transactional sends go out.
What you learn
Whether the SIM on this number was swapped within a time window you define and exactly when it happened. One of the strongest account takeover signals that exists.
What you do with it
Block or challenge high-risk actions like payments, password resets, and account changes when a SIM changed right before the request came in. A typical threshold could be anywhere between 24 and 72 hours depending on your risk tolerance.
What you learn
Whether the name, address, date of birth, or email you hold for a user matches what the operator has on file. No personal data is ever shared back.
What you do with it
Confirm identity at onboarding without a document scan. Detect synthetic identities and meet regulatory requirements without adding manual review.
KYC Tenure
How long have they held this number?
What you learn
Whether a number has been with its current operator longer than a threshold you define. Optionally returns the contract type: pay monthly, pay as you go, or business.
What you do with it
Catch recycled numbers before showing a new user someone else's account history. Flag brand new subscriptions as higher risk at onboarding.
Home Verify
What address do we have on file?
What you learn
The most recent address the operator holds for this subscriber, verified when they signed up. Not a match check but the actual proof of residency, straight from the operator. No document required and no form to fill in.
What you do with it
Replace address document uploads at onboarding entirely. Where KYC Match tells you if an address is consistent, Home Verify gives you the official proof regulators ask for. Essential for gambling, fintech, and any product with residency verification requirements.

Purpose-built products
Each product in the suite is designed for a specific question. Use the ones that fit your risk model.
Fast enough for real-time
Results in under a second. Trust checks at login or checkout, not batch jobs that arrive too late.
Connected to your full stack
Intel feeds directly into Prelude Verify and Auth so the same operator data enriches your verification flow and session trust.
Compliance taken care of
Consent, data handling, and operator agreements managed per market. Your legal team gets what they need without you building it.
40+ markets, one partner
Coverage across Europe and beyond. Expand to new markets without new operator negotiations or compliance work
Enterprise grade security
Built for teams with serious security requirements
If a user verified via OTP to log in, they should not need to verify again to change their password. Auth tracks verification state per session and carries it forward into downstream actions.
