deepidv Partners With Plumma to Bring Carrier-Grade Network Intelligence to Identity Verification Across Europe
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN FRANCISCO and BOLOGNA, Italy — September 1, 2026 — deepidv, the AI-native identity verification engine and agentic compliance suite, today announced a strategic partnership with Plumma, an Italian carrier network intelligence company, to bring carrier-grade mobile network signals into identity verification across Europe. The partnership integrates Plumma's real-time network intelligence directly into the deepidv platform, adding silent phone and carrier verification, SIM swap defense, and network-based identity and age signals to deepidv's verification stack for customers in Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
Carrier network intelligence draws trust signals straight from the mobile network — the SIM, the phone number, and the account behind a device — rather than from documents or selfies alone. Because those signals are checked silently against the mobile operator's own records, they add a strong, low-friction layer of assurance that is extremely difficult for fraudsters to fake, resistant to deepfakes and synthetic documents, and invisible to the honest end user.
What the partnership adds to deepidv
The integration brings three carrier-grade capabilities into deepidv's identity verification stack:
- Silent phone verification. deepidv confirms that a phone number is live, active, and genuinely controlled by the person onboarding — silently in the background, with no one-time passcode to intercept or phish. It turns the phone number from a weak identifier into a verified, network-backed trust signal.
- SIM swap defense. deepidv checks whether a SIM has recently been swapped or ported before trusting a device for onboarding, login, or a high-risk transaction — closing one of the most damaging account-takeover and authorized-push-payment (APP) fraud vectors in banking and fintech.
- 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.
Every check runs inside deepidv's existing sub-150-millisecond pipeline, so European customers gain a new layer of network-grade assurance without adding friction or steps for legitimate users.
"Documents and selfies tell you what someone is holding. The mobile network tells you who is actually there," said Shawn-Marc Melo, Founder & CEO of deepidv. "By bringing Plumma's carrier-grade network intelligence into deepidv, we can silently confirm a real, active phone and catch SIM-swap takeovers before they ever reach a customer's account — across Europe, in under 150 milliseconds, with cryptographic proof of every check. This is what AI-native verification should feel like: stronger security the honest user never even notices."
The partnership pairs Plumma's direct, privacy-respecting access to European mobile network signals with deepidv's AI-native verification engine and agentic compliance suite. Every verification deepidv performs is sealed with cryptographic, tamper-evident proof that customers and regulators can independently audit — publicly verifiable at proof.deepidv.com.
