Maxis Partners with Aduna to Boost API Adoption in Malaysia

Malaysia's leading integrated telco, Maxis, has entered into a strategic partnership with Aduna, a global venture by major telecom operators and Ericsson, to accelerate the adoption of standardized network APIs and drive digital innovation across sectors in Malaysia.

The partnership, signed in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), will grant developers and enterprises easy access to Aduna's single API platform.

These robust APIs will increase security, minimize digital services time-to-market, and open up new use cases by leveraging Maxis' enhanced network capabilities.

Key Highlights:

• Maxis signs MoU with Aduna to bring standardized network APIs to Malaysian businesses
• Initial APIs include Number Verification, SIM Swap, KYC Match, and Location Verification to combat digital fraud
• Partnership aligns with GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA Project to drive secure, API-led innovation

“APIs are a vital component of the digital economy today, and Maxis is dedicated to harnessing them to unlock more value for enterprises. With this collaboration with Aduna, we can facilitate the creation of more secure, user-focused services underpinned by frictionless access to cutting-edge network APIs.” Said Prateek Pashine, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Maxis.

Early API products will be Number Verification, SIM Swap, KYC Match, and Location Verification, essential features that will support digital fraud prevention and enhance web-based security for industries like financial services and e-commerce.
