PLANO, Texas, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aduna, the global aggregator of standardized network APIs, today announced a partnership with Spark, New Zealand’s leading digital services provider, to accelerate the adoption of advanced network APIs across the country. With Spark joining Aduna’s growing global ecosystem, New Zealand becomes part of a worldwide federation of operators bringing network intelligence to developers and enterprises through a unified platform.
The partnership will initially focus on SIM Swap detection and Number Verification APIs, providing enterprises with real-time tools to verify customer identities and safeguard digital transactions. These APIs are particularly critical for industries such as banking, financial services, e-commerce, and digital platforms, where fraud prevention and seamless onboarding are essential to trust and growth.
For developers, collaboration unlocks the ability to build new services that integrate network intelligence directly into applications to reduce friction in customer authentication, improving security for online transactions, and creating richer, more responsive user experiences. By accessing these APIs through Aduna, developers in New Zealand gain the same consistent standards already used across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa, enabling them to scale solutions across markets.
“Partnering with Spark extends Aduna’s global footprint to New Zealand, opening new opportunities for enterprises and developers,” says Anthony Bartolo, CEO, Aduna. “By delivering standardized APIs, we enable businesses to strengthen digital trust and give developers the tools to build secure, user-friendly services that drive real value.”
“At Spark, we see this partnership with Aduna as an important step in unlocking new ways to monetize our network investments,” said Renee Mateparae, Network and Operations Director at Spark. “It allows us to capture the full value of our network capabilities while giving our business customers access to sophisticated connectivity solutions that solve challenges. Fraud prevention will be one of the first areas we tackle, with SIM Swap detection and Number Verification APIs providing the tools businesses need to safeguard their customers.”
