Comviva and Aduna bring network intelligence to financial services at Money20/20

What the two companies are showing in Las Vegas

Comviva, which describes itself as a global leader in digital transformation solutions, and Aduna, a global aggregator of standardized network APIs, are demonstrating the progress of their collaboration at Money20/20 USA. The event runs from 18 to 21 October 2026 in Las Vegas.

According to the companies, network APIs can help financial institutions strengthen identity verification, detect unauthorized SIM card swaps, improve fraud prevention and streamline customer onboarding. The stated goal is to build digital trust while enabling safer and smoother customer experiences.

The presentation comes almost a year after the two firms announced their strategic alliance in November 2025. That partnership was meant to accelerate enterprise adoption and monetization of network APIs through Comviva's NGAGE platform.

NGAGE and the scale behind it

Through NGAGE, businesses can reach communication APIs and network APIs via a single interface. Aduna adds standardized network capabilities drawn from its global ecosystem of operators.

Comviva says the platform already operates at considerable commercial scale:

• support for more than 7,000 businesses
• more than 40 deployments
• more than 100 industry use cases
• more than 130 communication APIs and more than 25 network APIs
• more than 250,000 million messages processed per year

For banks and fintech companies, the companies say network-level intelligence can add a further layer of information for customer verification and risk assessment. Features such as phone number verification and SIM swap detection can help identify potential fraud, reinforce authentication and support faster, lower-friction onboarding and KYC procedures.

Executives on standardization and reach

Rajesh Chandiramani, CEO of Comviva, said NGAGE has become a unified and scalable access point for companies that want to build network intelligence into their digital processes. He called financial services a natural priority because the impact can be measured directly, through faster onboarding, stronger fraud controls and less reliance on one-time passwords (OTP) and other verification mechanisms. He also pointed to the reach of Tech Mahindra in banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), which he said helps bring these capabilities to institutions in several markets.

Peter Arbitter, chief commercial officer of Aduna Global, stressed standardization. He said Aduna brings together standardized APIs under the CAMARA framework from leading mobile operators, which simplifies access to reliable network information across operators and markets.

What comes next for financial institutions

The companies say the collaboration will keep expanding the use of network APIs in financial services markets. They also plan to explore applications beyond identity and fraud, including credit risk assessment, payment intelligence and other areas where real-time network information can support secure and smooth digital experiences.

At Money20/20 USA, Comviva is presenting NGAGE, described as a next-generation communication platform as a service powered by artificial intelligence engines, together with its parent company Tech Mahindra at MC-7. The two will show how AI, advanced analytics, network APIs and digital platforms can help financial institutions speed up innovation, strengthen fraud prevention and identity verification, and deliver smoother customer experiences.

For banks and fintechs, the pitch is a single route to operator-based signals that could reduce dependence on OTPs and shorten onboarding. The performance of these tools in real deployments is not covered in the announcement, so the benefits remain the companies' own claims.
