Insights
Industry collaboration showcases network APIs, 5G and AI combining to strengthen bank fraud defenses and customer flows.
Aduna, Deutsche Telekom, mBank and Vonage propose embedding mobile network capabilities into banking apps to provide real‑time, verified network data and programmable APIs for authentication and fraud checks. The partnership frames a technical route where telco-originated signals feed developer platforms and bank workflows, enabling automated verification at scale while aiming to reduce fraud-related revenue loss.
Key dependencies include developer adoption of the APIs, integration into existing bank fraud stacks, and regulatory acceptance of network-derived signals as verification evidence. The statement cites rising cybercrime and tighter regulation but provides no metrics, pilots, or independent validation of detection accuracy, so claimed benefits remain unquantified.
Watch for concrete milestones such as pilot results, integration case studies from mBank, and published performance metrics over the next 6–18 months. Evidence of reduced fraud rates, lowered false positives, or regulatory approvals will determine whether this collaboration materially alters bank security operations.
This powerful industry collaboration highlights how mobile networks, APIs, and AI can transform banking
An increase in fraud has emerged from the rise of digital channels in financial services and continues to evolve and grow with new technologies such as AI that enable more sophisticated threats. As cyber threats continue to escalate and regulations tighten, it is more critical than ever for banks to deploy advanced fraud protection strategies. Cybercrime damages are projected to reach
At the World Banking Forum, Aduna, Deutsche Telekom, mBank, and Vonage will explore how the convergence of 5G, Network APIs, and AI can revolutionize fraud prevention and redefine customer experience across the financial services industry. The industry leaders will discuss current security challenges and how embedding mobile network capabilities directly into banking applications delivers breakthroughs in seamless and secure customer interactions.
Exposing network capabilities through APIs provides banks like mBank with access to previously untapped and verified network data in real-time, enabling frictionless customer experiences and intelligently reducing fraud. Aduna, a joint venture of leading telecommunications industry giants, including Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson, drives the global availability of network capabilities by acting as an aggregator. Vonage, through its APIs and complementary tools, such as SDKs, makes these network capabilities accessible for developers to build innovative solutions with advanced fraud protection capabilities.
Fraud remains a persistent and increasing challenge for banks, across retail services and digital transactions. Innovation in prevention and detection technologies is crucial to stay ahead of the threat landscape and deliver a seamless customer experience.
"The collaboration between telcos, aggregators, and developer platform partners is crucial," said Peter Arbitter, Chief Commercial Officer for Aduna. "Aduna's role as an aggregator of telco network capabilities enables developer platform partners to drive the adoption of network APIs by developers, and expose digital innovation that advances secure banking services on a global scale."
David Darmon, VP of International Sales, API, at Vonage, added, "Vonage Network APIs give developers a platform to build solutions for banks to automate verification processes at scale, leveraging programmable network capabilities and verified network data for fraud protection. This elevates how banks deliver security, reduces revenue loss resulting from fraud, and transforms the customer experience."
Andrzej Ochocki, Head of Identity Management at Deutsche Telekom, commented, "From a telecom perspective, the digitization of banking has significantly increased demands on network security. Deutsche Telekom is committed to offering specific network APIs that directly address these evolving fraud and security needs."
"At mBank, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions to deliver a seamless and secure digital banking experience," stated Pawel Kowalski, Digital Security Product Owner at mBank. "Adopting network APIs in our fraud and authentication workflows has shown significant benefits, enhancing the customer experience and reinforcing trust."
