Mobile to X Suite

Overview

The Mobile to X API suite is designed to make alternative data aggregation seamless by using a person’s mobile number to retrieve various important datasets.

This API enables seamless access to alternative data sources, providing vital information such as name, Udyam number, UPI VPA, and UAN linked to a mobile number.

By facilitating these data points, the Mobile to X APIs empower financial institutions to enhance customer onboarding, verification, and overall decision-making and underwriting processes for various financial instruments such as loans and insurance.

Key Features:

  • Retrieve details like name, Udyam number, UPI VPA, and UAN.
  • Built for use cases in finance, banking, and alternative data aggregation.
  • Fast, reliable, and secure API integration for real-time data retrieval.

Insights into Use Cases

1. Financial Inclusion and Credit Scoring

Lenders can use Mobile to X to quickly verify business registration details (Udyam number) or UPI VPAs to assess financial credibility. This aids in credit risk analysis and onboarding of thin-file customers.

2. Customer Onboarding and Verification

Financial institutions can prefill names, Udyam numbers, or UAN details using the APIs, making customer onboarding seamless and reducing form abandonment rates.

3. KYC Simplification

Using mobile numbers to fetch verified data like UAN or Udyam streamlines KYC processes, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional document-based KYC.

4. Fraud Prevention

Banks and fintechs can use these APIs to verify whether a mobile number matches its corresponding data points, helping prevent fraud in applications or transactions.

This guide should give users a solid foundation to begin working with the Mobile to X APIs and explore their full potential in finance and banking use cases.
