Truecaller launches Secure Calls to Fight Call Spoofing
Truecaller For Business subscribers can now make secure calls to their customers. By performing a secure backend handshake with Truecaller, the app verifies the callers authenticity, ensuring it is indeed the company and not an impersonator. As a result, Truecaller can confidently label the call as a genuine “Secure Call” originating from a verified entity.
This increased transparency empowers consumers to answer calls with greater confidence, further reducing the likelihood of them falling victim to fraud and scams.
“At Truecaller, our mission is to build trust in communication,” said Fredrik Kjell, Chief Operating Officer at Truecaller. “Spoofed calls erode this trust and cause significant distress. With Secure Calls, we are taking our commitment to verification to the next level. Building on our successful Verified Business identities, Secure Calls now provides call-by-call assurance through an automated signing process. The clear visual indicators within Truecaller will immediately inform users that the incoming call is verified as a Secure Call. This launch underscores our commitment to protecting consumers & empowering businesses to communicate with confidence.”
NoBroker, one of India’s leading proptech companies, has already embraced Secure Calls to reinforce its customer protection strategy.
“In an era where scams are evolving rapidly, protecting our customers is no longer optional – it’s an essential trust driver,” said Akhil Gupta, Founder and Chief Tech & Product Officer at NoBroker. “At NoBroker, we utilize Truecaller’s Secure Calls capability to stay ahead of fraud attempts, avoid scams, and deliver a trusted experience to our users. In addition, it also enables us to display a unique & contextual message to each user in line with their requirements, which is extremely valuable as it helps them prioritize the communication and move ahead with their needs with NoBroker.”
