Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar roll out fraud-fighting APIs
Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar have launched commercial network APIs based on the GSMA Open Gateway standard to support identity verification and curb digital fraud in Qatar. The tools allow approved third parties to tap into operators’ network data in a controlled way to check whether users are who they claim to be.
By standardising these APIs, the operators aim to give banks, online services and other businesses a common way to verify identities and reduce scams such as account takeovers and fake registrations, without building separate integrations for each network.
