Customers expect a one-click experience and phone numbers provide a key element in their journey. Starting at account opening and throughout the customer lifecycle, phone numbers provide a consistent risk indicator. Malicious actors use compromised phone numbers to hijack existing accounts or create new accounts. The challenge? Prevent fraud from faked, stolen, or invalid phone numbers while enabling a seamless user experience.
