data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1063\">The mobile network can provide one such signal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1238\"><strong data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1088\">Number Verification<\/strong> can help determine whether the mobile number presented during a digital journey corresponds to the subscriber and device relationship being verified.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1414\">Rather than relying only on information supplied by a user, organisations can incorporate a network-backed verification result into a broader identity or fraud-risk decision.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1624\">PAiCore&#8217;s <strong data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1470\">CAMARA-compliant Number Verification API<\/strong> enables this

data-start=\"2435\" data-end=\"2496\">The opportunity therefore extends beyond employee onboarding.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2498\" data-end=\"2680\">As enterprises look for stronger identity and
