KYC Tenure
KYC Tenure checks whether a phone number’s lifetime tenure is older than a date you provide.
It helps you strengthen onboarding and authentication decisioning with a network-backed trust signal, reducing exposure to synthetic identities and high-risk signups.

Unlock mobile identity trust insights for enhanced fraud prevention
Imagine providing developers with real data and predictive tenure estimations for precise mobile identity verification, enabling better, data-driven decisions.
By leveraging historical anonymized data from network-connected devices, the KYC Tenure API delivers accurate insights that can inform user authentication, onboarding processes, fraud detection, and security measures.
Data is aggregated through Orange’s solution for analyzing user tenure patterns. The API sources and aggregates mobile device data on observed patterns and behaviors, using advanced algorithms to verify the duration a user has been associated with a specific phone number through their current mobile operator, not just Orange subscribers. The underlying algorithms are designed to protect privacy by analyzing historical data, supporting transaction authentication. These proprietary methods are developed by Orange to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory requirements.
