The Device Swap API is a standardized technology solution that allows developers to integrate the detection and management of device swaps into their applications. It provides real-time insights into whether a SIM card (and associated phone number) has been moved to a new device, enhancing security and ensuring a seamless user experience.

The API works by interacting with mobile network data to monitor device-related activities. Specifically, it detects changes in the association between a phone number (MSISDN) and a device (IMEI). Upon detecting a device swap, the API can trigger notifications or provide timestamp information, allowing businesses to respond with appropriate measures.

The Device Swap API enhances security and user experience by detecting unauthorized device changes, strengthening fraud prevention, and improving verification during logins or transactions. It ensures seamless device transitions for users while also enabling personalized marketing campaigns based on device usage changes.

The Device Swap API is versatile, supporting fraud prevention in banking, securing device transitions in telecommunications, enabling targeted marketing campaigns in retail, and ensuring compliance in enterprise IT for corporate device management.

By monitoring and analysing device-related activities, the API detects unauthorized SIM-to-device pairings or abnormal device changes. These insights allow businesses to flag suspicious activities, enforce additional authentication measures, and protect user accounts or sensitive transactions.

The API enhances user experience by enabling smooth transitions when users legitimately switch devices. It allows businesses to sync data, preferences, and settings seamlessly while protecting accounts from unauthorized access, reinforcing user trust and satisfaction.

The Device Swap API complements existing security measures by adding an additional layer of protection. It integrates with authentication mechanisms such as 2FA or risk-based authentication systems to provide more robust defences against fraud or unauthorized access.

Yes, the Device Swap API can be combined with other Open Gateway APIs such as SIM Swap, Number Verify, and Device Location. Integrating multiple APIs enables a comprehensive security ecosystem, providing superior fraud detection and account protection.

Yes, the Device Swap API can provide updates when a device swap event is detected. This allows businesses to respond accordingly, such as reinforcing security measures, requesting additional authentication, or adjusting user permissions as needed.

Early detection helps mitigate risks by identifying suspicious device changes before they escalate into unauthorized actions. Businesses can prevent financial losses, reduce security breaches, and maintain customer trust through proactive measures.

Absolutely. Early detection minimizes reputational risks by preventing high-profile security incidents. Businesses can avoid negative publicity, mitigate customer dissatisfaction, and maintain their brands positive image.

The API helps businesses comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR, LGPD, and financial security standards by enabling secure identity verification and fraud prevention. It operates within a privacy-first framework, ensuring that sensitive data is handled responsibly and in compliance with legal requirements.
