to verify
Ubiquitous mobile identity. Delightful user experience.
Cryptographic security.
Verify 2bn+ real mobile phone identities by accessing authentication systems of carrier networks. tru.ID have opened up access to SIM-based verification with APIs for developers to transform account journeys into frictionless experiences.
Only real mobile identities - no more fake, spoofed, recycled or virtual mobile numbers
Stronger 2FA than SMS OTP - replace SMS OTP or magic links for strong, seamless and silent 2FA/MFA
Zero user effort - no more forgotten passwords, app switching to register or login, or auth codes to input
Private - a URL-based lookup for zero trust, zero knowledge, and no PII
Verification that works seamlessly, like magic.
tru.ID verification APIs use the end-user's mobile network, which already knows the phone number via the SIM card in the device. tru.ID matches the given phone number by creating a mobile data session to a one-time URL from the end-user's device. Build seamless account journeys and stronger 2FA.
Connects to mobile networks in real-time
tru.ID’s partners with global mobile network operators to provide access to their authentication systems. If your business uses the mobile phone number as a credential – be it as part of registration, or access login, tru.ID looks up the number, matches it to the network, and asks – is this a valid subscriber? If the network replies ‘yes’, tru.ID returns a positive response. It's a URL-based lookup with no personal data exchanged.
Seamless SIM-based authentication
tru.ID verifies the user’s mobile number with the SIM card identity, a pairing that is unique and near impossible to copy or tamper with. We call this pairing SIM-based authentication. There’s nothing more the user needs to do than enter their mobile phone number, which is checked against the network's SIM authentication using a URL-based lookup over a data connection.
A developer-first global API platform
Until tru.ID, access to network-level authentication systems was only available to the mobile operators themselves, or to enterprise customers. tru.ID changed all that and built a developer-first API platform. Integrate once, then scale as you expand, be it nationally or globally, supported by comprehensive guides and tutorials for Android, iOS, ReactNative, and Web.
