We can help you to address its requirements by protecting your customers from cyber fraud with PhonoSecure STOP. SIM fraud (or SIM Swap) involves fraudsters getting control of your mobile phone number by gathering personal information and changing SIM cards, typically at a mobile phone store. It affects almost everyone who uses their phone to access their bank account. Business accounts are especially vulnerable to large transfers. Phonovation’s anti SIM swap attack software prevents this kind of attack using data only available to Phonovation. Phonovation’s service (PhonoSecure STOP) checks if the current SIM card of the customer’s mobile phone can be trusted. If the number has been ported within a certain time period, our service will flag the interaction as a possible fraud and direct the user to the banks care lines to confirm certain details that only the customer and bank should know, i.e. previous transactions etc. I
