TMT ID and GBG Announce Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Mobile Identity and Fraud Prevention 


30th April 2025
London, United Kingdom

TMT ID, a leader in mobile intelligence, has partnered with GBG, a leading expert in global identity and location tech, to enhance mobile identity verification and fraud detection for businesses worldwide.

Around the world fraud continues to rise rapidly, amplified by the industrialisation of fraud attacks, making it essential for businesses to prepare for more frequent and sophisticated attacks. The advent of Generative AI has made fraud more professional and scalable, requiring businesses to adopt advanced technologies and real-time data to swiftly detect and mitigate threats. Given the global nature of digital transactions, criminals can exploit vulnerabilities across borders, making fraud a persistent and growing concern.

This partnership therefore addresses the rising need for seamless identity verification and stronger fraud protection. By combining TMT ID’s expertise in mobile number intelligence with GBG’s fraud prevention technology, businesses can verify users more effectively at onboarding and detect fraudulent activity throughout a customer lifecycle in real-time.

How the Partnership Helps Businesses:

  • Access Across Markets – TMT ID and GBG bring number intelligence, mobile identity, and fraud prevention to businesses across multiple markets, helping them onboard more genuine customers and meet compliance requirements.
  • Stronger Fraud Prevention – GBG’s fraud detection technology and TMT ID’s number intelligence work together to identify risks faster and prevent fraud more effectively.
  • Seamless Customer Experience– By combining TMT ID’s innovative identity tools with GBG’s extensive data sources, the partnership will deliver a seamless customer experience for genuine customers, while enhancing compliance with global regulatory standards.

John Wilkinson, CEO of TMT ID, commented:
