Vonage / Verify

Simplify user identity verification with SMS short codes

Easily send messages via Vonage Messages

Nexmo is now called Vonage, but there are still references to Nexmo in our URLs, code snippets and message templates.

The effective cross-channel two-factor authentication technology of the Vonage Verify API helps you to protect your users and business against fraud and spam. Build trust and increase conversion across channels by sending a short code (PIN) to your user's telephone, verifying user identity. No telecom or security experience is required with this all-in-one, economical user verification API.

How it works

Vonage's Verify API verifies the identity of your user. When a user logs into his account on your app, Verify sends a one-time verification code to the phone number associated with the username and password, via an SMS, voice message or push notification. The user enters the verification code into the input box presented by your app. This confirms that the person attempting to access the account has the phone linked to that account. Your app then gives full access to the user.You only pay for successful verifications.

What our customers say

Product page Vonage Verify API Testimonial Vinted
"One of the reasons we chose Vonage rather than other SMS verification vendors was because the pricing model for Vonage’s Verify API is unique and very, very attractive for us. Vonage’s charges are based on successful verifications only. If we are checking just the suspicious members that are flagged, it means that we’re not spending money on those fraudulent users because their numbers will not be able to be verified. That saves Vinted a lot of money."
