(MENAFN- Ilex Content Strategies) SONIO customers gain access to XConnect’s trusted portfolio of API services to strengthen network-level identity and fraud signals

London, UK – 16th March 2026 - XConnect, a Somos Company, a provider of world-class numbering intelligence and mobile identity solutions, has partnered with SONIO, a leader in Identity Orchestration Solutions, to integrate XConnect network APIs into SONIO’s Identity Orchestration Platform. The partnership supports regulated sectors including Online Sports Betting and gambling, fintech, banking and enterprise with enhanced onboarding, stronger fraud prevention and improved compliance through a single integration.

SONIO customers gain access to XConnect’s SIM Swap, MPM KYC Match, and Number Verify API services to strengthen network-level identity and fraud signals. This single integration into SONIO’s Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform makes rich network data available to SONIO’s enterprise clients without the need to build and maintain separate connections to multiple operators or identity vendors.

“As digital onboarding accelerates and fraud activity becomes more advanced, enterprises require faster, more reliable ways to establish and maintain trust,” said Mark Harvey, Chief Identity Officer, XConnect. “By combining SONIO’s flexible onboarding and compliance workflows with XConnect’s live SIM Swap, MPM KYC Match and Number Verify APIs, enterprises can make stronger decisions that drive trust and minimise integration effort. Our goal is to empower organisations across key geographies and industries with the tools they need to overcome evolving risks and challenges.”

SONIO’s orchestration layer combined with XConnect’s real-time operator data enables enterprises to decrease security and compliance gaps. They benefit from reduced fraud risk with faster onboarding, fewer call drop-offs, stronger identity assurance, and unified verification workflows under one API call. For iGaming and gambling clients, XConnect’s MPM KYC Match improves compliance and age verification and addresses bonus abuse and fraud.

“Integrating XConnect’s network-based identity signals into SONIO’s Orchestration Platform gives our customers direct access to trusted mobile network operators' data within their existing workflows,” said Xhejn Dule, Chief Sales Officer, SONIO. “By working with XConnect, we’re making it easy for highly regulated sectors to take control of their identity strategies and adapt to complex environments. Together, our partnership is helping businesses to combat fraud, boost compliance and keep customer experience simple and seamless.”

XConnect delivers integrated numbering intelligence services and network API capabilities globally and is trusted by carriers, banks, platforms and enterprises. Its Network APIs deliver critical signals — including SIM Swap detection, Call Forwarding checks, Number Verify and MPM KYC Match — through a single integration, enabling enterprises to consume live network data efficiently and at scale.
