Delivering developer and enterprise customers improved user acquisition and retention through a better user experience, Nexmo Verify enables an effective and accurate verification process for any phone number, both mobile and landline, in any country.  

Nexmo Verify was developed and perfected leveraging Nexmo's vast experience servicing most of the world's OTT apps and over 1100 carrier networks.

With global conversion rates at merely 65%, a solution is needed.

Verifying phone numbers is a mission-critical process that is typically used to protect people from spam, fraud and hacking.

Uniquely comprehensive across mobile and landlines, Nexmo Verify is a single, global, end-to-end, two-factor authentication solution that includes SMS, text-to-speech, adaptive routing, and failover handling.
