A joint initiative between Numeracle and Fonative (now Finvi) to deliver a Verified Identity solution designed to strengthen customer due diligence in communications. The announcement follows recent enforcement actions by the FTC and the State of Ohio against service providers that failed to prevent illegal calling activity on their networks.
The release references the landmark FTC proceeding against a communications service provider found negligent in allowing unlawful calling practices, resulting in a ban from high‑risk communications delivery and the imposition of stringent onboarding and monitoring requirements. Against this regulatory backdrop, Numeracle and Fonative position Verified Identity with KYC as a proactive mechanism to support compliance, accountability, and transparency across the communications ecosystem
KYC Relevance
The press release frames Know Your Customer as central to modern communications compliance, particularly in light of heightened FTC scrutiny. Verified Identity enables legal entities to voluntarily disclose and validate their calling identity through a KYC process that evaluates call intent and consent‑based competence, rather than relying solely on phone number attribution.
By distinguishing between a phone number and the entity using it, the solution addresses regulatory expectations that providers must look beyond surface‑level identifiers to understand who is originating traffic. The release emphasizes that robust customer onboarding and ongoing monitoring are no longer optional, but required safeguards to prevent fraud, spoofing, and illegal calling activity. These KYC capabilities directly support providers in meeting enforcement and due diligence expectations established by regulators.
