## What the Mobile to Name API does

Mobile to Name returns the full name registered against a mobile number, drawn from telecom and banking-grade sources.

As a fraud signal this is quietly effective. When the name on the number does not resemble the name on the application, you have a discrepancy worth resolving before anything else proceeds.

## Where teams use the Mobile to Name API

1.  Verifying a customer's name against their phone number
    
2.  Fraud screening at the start of onboarding
    
3.  Pre-filling name fields to reduce typing
    
4.  Flagging applications using someone else's number
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How reliable is the name?

It reflects the registered subscriber. Family-held connections are common, so a mismatch is a signal to investigate rather than proof of fraud.

Does it prove the customer holds the phone?

No. Use OTP-based mobile verification to establish control of the number.

What consent is required?

This returns personal data tied to an individual, so obtain and record consent.
