deepidv and Plumma Bring Carrier-Grade Network Intelligence to Identity Verification in Five European Markets
deepidv partners with Bologna-based Plumma to add silent phone verification, SIM swap defense, and network-based identity and age signals to identity verification across Italy, Spain, the UK, France, and Germany.
deepidv today announced a strategic partnership with Plumma, an Italian carrier network intelligence company based in Bologna, to bring carrier-grade mobile network signals into identity verification across Europe. The integration adds silent phone verification, SIM swap defense, and network-based identity and age signals to the deepidv verification stack for customers in Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
The partnership answers a simple question every fraud and compliance team is now asking: how do you trust a phone, a SIM, and the person behind them without adding another step for legitimate users? By reading trust signals directly from the mobile network — silently, in the background — deepidv and Plumma close some of the most damaging account-takeover and onboarding-fraud gaps without slowing anyone down.
What carrier network intelligence actually is
Most identity verification leans on two things a fraudster can now manufacture cheaply: a document and a selfie. Carrier network intelligence adds a third signal that is far harder to fake — the mobile network itself. It draws assurance straight from the operator's own records about the SIM, the phone number, and the account behind a device, and checks them silently rather than asking the user to type a code.
Because those signals live inside the carrier network, they are resistant to deepfakes, synthetic documents, and phishing. A fraudster can generate a convincing fake ID in minutes, but they cannot easily fake the live status, ownership history, and network behavior of a real mobile number.
Three carrier-grade capabilities, one integration
Silent phone verification. deepidv confirms that a phone number is live, active, and genuinely controlled by the person onboarding — silently, with no one-time passcode to intercept or phish. Unlike an SMS OTP, which can be forwarded, SIM-swapped, or socially engineered, silent phone and carrier verification checks the number against the network directly, turning a weak identifier into a verified trust signal.
SIM swap defense. deepidv checks whether a SIM has recently been swapped or ported before it trusts a device for onboarding, login, or a high-risk payment — shutting down one of the most damaging account-takeover and authorized-push-payment fraud vectors in banking and fintech. Real-time transaction monitoring can now factor a fresh SIM swap into its risk score before funds ever move.
Network-based identity and age signals. deepidv corroborates name, phone, and age-related attributes against carrier network records, strengthening age verification and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks with an independent, hard-to-forge source of truth that complements document and deepfake detection.
Why Europe, and why now
The launch covers five of Europe's largest digital-onboarding markets — Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany — where instant payment rails, tightening KYC and age-assurance rules, and rising AI-driven fraud have made point-in-time document checks insufficient on their own. Every carrier signal runs inside deepidv's existing sub-150-millisecond pipeline, so European customers gain a network-grade layer of assurance without adding friction for legitimate users.
As with every check deepidv performs, each verification is sealed with cryptographic, tamper-evident proof that customers and regulators can independently audit. deepidv verifies humans and the AI agents that act for them across 211+ countries, and this partnership deepens that coverage with direct, privacy-respecting access to European mobile network intelligence through deepidv's identity verification engine.
deepidv × Plumma Carrier Network Intelligence FAQ
- What is carrier network intelligence in identity verification?
- Carrier network intelligence draws trust signals directly from the mobile network — the live status and ownership of a SIM, the phone number, and network-based identity attributes — and checks them silently against the operator's own records. It adds a strong, low-friction layer of assurance on top of document and biometric checks that is resistant to deepfakes, synthetic documents, and phishing because those signals cannot be easily faked outside the carrier network.
- What is silent phone verification and how is it different from an SMS OTP?
- Silent phone verification confirms that a phone number is live, active, and genuinely controlled by the person onboarding by checking it against the mobile network directly — with no code for the user to enter. Unlike an SMS one-time passcode, which can be intercepted, forwarded, SIM-swapped, or socially engineered, silent verification has nothing to phish and adds no friction, so it is both more secure and invisible to the legitimate user.
- How does the deepidv and Plumma partnership defend against SIM swap fraud?
- deepidv checks whether a SIM has recently been swapped or ported before it trusts a device for onboarding, login, or a high-risk transaction. A recent SIM swap is a leading indicator of account takeover and authorized-push-payment fraud, so deepidv can raise the risk score, require additional verification, or block the action before funds move — in under 150 milliseconds.
- Which countries does the deepidv and Plumma partnership cover?
- The partnership launches carrier network intelligence for identity verification in five European markets: Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
- Who is Plumma?
- Plumma is an Italian network intelligence company based in Bologna that gives businesses secure, privacy-respecting access to real-time mobile carrier signals — including number verification, SIM-swap detection, and network-based identity attributes — through a single integration.
