Truecaller verifies business phone numbers. Ensures customers recognize and answer calls from verified numbers.
iDProof verifies individual business representatives (employees/agents). Builds trust at a personal level, ensuring that the person calling is authorized by the business.
Trust Layer

iDProof focuses on personal identity verification of callers, ensuring customers trust people, not just numbers.
Caller Verification

iDProof is ideal for industries like finance, healthcare, and government, where trust in the caller’s identity is critical to avoid fraud and impersonation.
