Utility account aggregator joins the TruNarrative App Store
Urjanet and Financial crime platform TruNarrative join forces to deliver Utility Data for Identity & Address Verification into firms onboarding strategies
TruNarrative, the global RegTech company has announced a new partnership with Urjanet, to integrate utility and telecom account data into the TruNarrative platform
The TruNarrative platform delivers financial crime detection, customer onboarding and transaction monitoring to Financial services, e-commerce businesses and gambling operators.
Utility Data for Identity & Address Verification from Urjanet enables TruNarrative’s platform users to connect with consumer utility accounts based on consumer permissions and digitally retrieve bills to verify name and address information.
Urjanet data is collected from an expansive network of thousands of service providers across 33 countries and enables users to accurately verify the identities and addresses of a widespread consumer base while remaining compliant with KYB, KYC, and AML regulations. This information is especially important to help deliver services to the underbanked or hard to verify consumers.
The partnership gives TruNarrative customers permissioned access to the information they need to help verify identity and make onboarding decisions, in real time using utility bill information via the TruNarrative API.
Urjanet’s utility data will sit within TruNarrative’s AI driven platform providing firms with a more complete customer view facilitating both automated and manual decisions.
Using Urjanet’s Electric, natural gas, water, cable, and telecom data through TruNarrative will facilitate a low-friction journey for the customer, increasing visibility and reducing the volume of manual referrals for organisations.
We’re excited to join forces with a company that’s transforming the fraud and identity solutions market.
Adding Urjanet’s consumer-permissioned, direct-from-source utility account connections to the App Store allows TruNarrative customers to create a seamless user experience with a fully digital verification workflow.” – Sanjoy Malik, CEO of Urjanet.
Urjanet is an important integration for our customers, we only provide world class data and API’s that can be consumed within the TruNarrative SaaS platform.
They bring a wealth of data that our customers can integrate into their IDV journeys and onboarding strategies.” – John Lord – CEO, TruNarrative.

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 63 alerts of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025. The Q1 2025 total is 3% less than the 65 alerts in Q4 2024, and 11% more when compared to the revised Q1 2024 total of 57 alerts. IBIA monitors over $300bn per annum in betting turnover (handle) across more than 80 members with over 140 sports betting brands globally.
The 63 incidents of suspicious betting in Q1 2025 concerned six sports, across 23 countries and 5 continents. Other key data for Q1 2025 includes:
- Football and tennis accounted for 40 of the Q1 2025 alerts (64%), a 14% increase from 35 alerts in Q4 2024.
- Sporting events in Europe and North America, with 32 alerts combined, made up 51% of the total reported; that was a decrease of 29% compared to 45 alerts in Q4 2024.
- Table tennis saw a notably reduction in alerts from 21 reported in Q4 2024 to 9 reported in Q1 2025, representing a 53% quarter-on-quarter fall.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “The first quarter of 2025 was relatively consistent with the previous quarter and the comparable period last year. Football and tennis remain the most reported sports, albeit their combined Q1 2025 number was down 14% on Q4 2024. This quarter-on-quarter reduction was primarily due to a fall in tennis alerts, which have shown a welcome reduction in recent years. The Q4 2024 increase in table tennis alerts has not continued into Q1 2025 and has fallen back to previous levels. IBIA has taken increased precautions regarding this sport and agreed a number of new integrity partnerships and protocols in Q1 with the aim of detecting and sanctioning corrupt betting activity.”
IBIA is a leading not-for-profit dedicated to protecting the integrity of regulated sports betting markets worldwide. Its global monitoring network serves as a powerful anti-corruption tool, identifying and reporting suspicious betting activity. In late 2024, IBIA further strengthened its capabilities with a major technological upgrade, significantly enhancing its ability to detect and respond to potential match-fixing across its members’ markets.

Neosurf, the progressive online payments company known for bridging the gap between cash and digital transactions and helping iGaming operators meet their AML and compliance requirements, has now launched in the regulated Mexican market.
With Mexico’s sports betting industry experiencing rapid growth and a strong player preference for alternative and cash-based payment solutions, Neosurf sees a significant opportunity to provide an enhanced range of market-tailored payment services to operators and players alike.
Neosurf’s cash-to-digital wallet solutions will enable Mexican players to fund their accounts securely while also giving operators access to robust compliance tools. With its pioneering Compliance Handshake feature, Neosurf provides an opportunity for seamless and secure KYC data sharing, improving the player journey and providing additional data and reporting for the operator
“In talking with operators, we’ve learnt that they’re not being serviced as well as they could be – there are gaps in customer support, compliance processes and overall payment efficiency,” explained Sue Page, CEO Americas at Neosurf.
“We believe our solution fills these gaps by offering a more reliable, secure and compliant way for players to transact, while also helping operators improve the all-round customer experience. We’re already live with first regional partners, such as Fun88, in the country and will quickly be adding more SEGOB licensed operators over the coming months.”
“With many Mexican players favouring cash, partnering with Neosurf allows us to offer a payment method that aligns with customer preferences while reinforcing our commitment to security and compliance,” added Christian Ramos, legal representative at Fun88 Mexico. “Their ability to provide frictionless transactions while enhancing AML and KYC processes makes them a key partner in the market.”
Neosurf’s launch in Mexico is just the beginning of its expansion into the regulated Latin American market, with the company already exploring further opportunities across the region. Through delivering its fast, secure and customer-centric payment solutions, Neosurf remains committed to reshaping the payments experience for players and operators, both within Mexico and beyond.
