Telified Service
The Telified service provides a form of phone identity verification that verifies the customer’s name and address against the phone number. It queries the telephone carriers responsible and verifies the provided customer name and address against the carrier’s billing database for that phone number. The Telified service can be used to ensure that you are calling and speaking to the card holder or to confirm the relationship between the phone number, customer name, and address.
