Know Your Customer Match API Solution Brief

This Verizon solution brief describes the Know Your Customer Match API, a tool that provides real-time identity verification by cross-referencing customer-provided details against attributes held by Verizon and returning a match score. The document explains that the API embeds an automated identity check into an application's workflow to support identity verification. It lists benefits including enhanced fraud prevention (reducing the risk of identity fraud, including synthetic identities) and increased operational efficiency (meeting regulatory obligations, automating checks and reducing customer friction). The brief notes the API is built using CAMARA specifications, an open source project hosted by the Linux Foundation focused on simplifying access to telecom network capabilities through APIs. Stated use cases include account creation/onboarding and re-verifying identity before high-risk transactions such as high-value orders, deposits or fund transfers. It outlines how the API works in three steps: Request (the application passes key data fields including MSISDN, name, address and email to Verizon), Verify (the API cross-references the information against Verizon records), and Respond (the API returns a 0–100 fuzzy match score indicating the probability that the information aligns with Verizon's records). For more information, readers are directed to contact their Verizon Account Representative or email networkapis@verizon.com.
