Stop to fraud: when digital identity becomes a game changer

How DQE leverages Orange’s CAMARA APIs to protect users

Fraud is a growing challenge in today’s digital world, especially when it comes to identity theft, SIM swapping, and document fraud. For businesses in banking, insurance, and e-commerce, protecting customers while ensuring a smooth user experience is paramount. This is where DQE – Data Quality Everywhere – and Orange’s Network APIs developed under CAMARA open-source project come into play—a partnership that’s changing the game in mobile identity verification and fraud prevention.

Who is DQE ?

DQE – Data Quality Everywhere – is a leading French company specializing in fraud prevention solutions. Since 2020, they have partnered with major mobile operators in France, including Orange, to deploy advanced fraud-fighting technologies at scale. With over 20 projects in production for large enterprise clients, DQE has become the go-to expert for mobile identity verification in sectors where trust and security are critical.

The fraud landscape: what are the threats?

DQE and Orange focus on combating three main types of fraud:

• Identity Fraud: When someone impersonates another person to gain unauthorized access or benefits.
• SIM Swapping Fraud: When fraudsters hijack a user’s mobile number by transferring it to a new SIM card, enabling them to intercept OTPs and bypass security.
• Document Fraud: The use of forged or manipulated identity documents to deceive verification systems.

These fraud types not only cause financial losses but also erode customer trust and damage brand reputation.

How Orange’s CAMARA APIs help fight fraud

Orange’s Network APIs provide powerful tools that DQE integrates into their solutions to tackle these fraud challenges effectively. The APIs enable real-time verification of mobile identity data, helping businesses authenticate users seamlessly and securely.

Number Verification: securing mobile numbers beyond OTP

While OTP (one-time password) via SMS has been a common authentication method, it comes with friction—such as delivery failures, and security vulnerabilities like SIM swapping.

Number Verification addresses these issues by verifying in real-time that the mobile number belongs to the user at the moment of connection. This verification is invisible to the user, requires no manual input, and happens within milliseconds via the mobile network. The benefits include:

• Stronger security against SIM swap fraud and OTP interception.
• A smoother user experience with fewer abandoned transactions.
• Support for multi-factor authentication without added complexity.

Real impact: DQE’s success with Network APIs

DQE’s use of Number Verification proposed by Orange has delivered impressive results for their clients:

• Reduced Fraud: A 50% decrease in both document fraud and net fraud.
• Improved User Experience: 40% of prospects no longer need to upload proof of address, simplifying the onboarding journey.
• Higher Conversion Rates: A 30% increase in conversion rates among targeted users.
• Operational Efficiency: Automation of address verification reduces manual workload and errors.

These outcomes demonstrate how integrating Orange’s APIs helps DQE provide reliable, scalable fraud prevention solutions that protect businesses and their customers.

Why this matters for your business

Fraud prevention is no longer just about security—it’s about balancing protection with user convenience. Orange’s Network APIs, as used by DQE, offer a way to achieve this balance by:

• Providing reliable identity verification without disrupting the customer journey.
• Enabling continuous and strong authentication to detect suspicious behavior.
• Reducing abandonment rates by simplifying verification steps.
• Addressing diverse markets and use cases with flexible API solutions.

For business decision-makers, this means safeguarding revenue and reputation. For tech professionals, it means integrating cutting-edge tools that enhance security without sacrificing usability.
