Kanzaroo KYC Match
Identity Check 2.0 –
through Telekom, Vodafone und Telefonica
Overview
Kanzaroo KYC Match enables service providers to verify a user’s personal data (name, address, date of birth) using their mobile phone provider data – fully automated and without media discontinuity.
The result is a simple “true/false” check (alternatively: score value) that provides quick and reliable information about the user’s identity.
Since mobile phone providers are legally required to perform a full KYC, the data provides a reliable basis for identity verification.

How does Kanzaroo
KYC Match work?
SP issues a request for the KYC Match service via the Mobile Connect API to the user’s operator including the information that they would like the operator to compare against their own records.
The operator processes the request, obtaining consent from the user (via their mobile device) for performing the comparison where required.
If consented to, the operator compares the received user information against their own records and returns a true/false result to the SP for each attribute that is compared.
Example use cases
Easy enrolment to new services by re-using the validated user identity previously captured by the operator
ID check for compliance with regulations
User identification to call centre or corporate
Remote ID & verification use cases in banking for new users & KYC refresh
Anti-money laundering (AML) check for online gambling
Basic compliance check for small value money transfers
Card enrolment/ID verification in mobile wallets
