Aduna has announced a suite of three new fraud prevention APIs designed to verify identities and detect suspicious activity on U.S. mobile networks. These tools, which integrate data from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, are currently in development with a planned release in Q4 2026.
Why it matters
As sophisticated fraud threats increase, these APIs provide enterprises with direct access to carrier-verified signals to strengthen user authentication and risk modeling. This collaboration between major network operators and Aduna represents a centralized approach to mobile security.
The platform provides access to three specific signals—Know Your Customer, Device Swap, and Call Forward Detection—across all three major U.S. carriers. Data is pulled via a unified API gateway, replacing fragmented manual verification methods.
The players
Aduna
A technology provider specializing in unified network API gateways for enterprise security.
AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon
The primary U.S. mobile network operators providing the underlying subscriber signal data.
The details
The Know Your Customer API validates identity details against official carrier records, while the Device Swap API detects if a mobile number has recently moved to a new SIM or handset. Additionally, the Call Forwarding Detection API identifies if incoming calls are being surreptitiously redirected. Enterprises integrate these signals through a single unified gateway to automate fraud screening during onboarding or sensitive transactions.
Timeline
Q4 2026: Expected commercial availability for the three fraud prevention APIs.
The Tech Race
This development follows the industry trend of standardizing access to mobile operator network signals, mirroring the architectural goals established by the GSMA Open Gateway initiative. It marks a push to consolidate enterprise access to sensitive carrier data across the U.S. market.
Enterprises will gain the ability to verify users against carrier data starting in late 2026, improving security for account logins and onboarding. Users will experience faster, more secure authentication as platforms move away from slower, less reliable identity checks.
The takeaway
The move demonstrates a shift toward utilizing carrier-level network signals to combat automated identity theft in the enterprise sector. Stakeholders should track the Q4 2026 rollout to see how these API signals perform in live fraud-mitigation benchmarks.
