A New Era in Authentication

The era of passwords, one-time codes, and dedicated apps is finally ending.Partner Group and Unibeam, the global pioneer in SIM-based mobile identity authentication, have officially introduced smart cellular authentication to Israel — and VerifyHub is proud to be the exclusive Israeli partner enabling this innovation.

This breakthrough allows users to access banking, insurance, and health-care services securely and effortlessly — without typing a single password.

What Makes It Different

Traditional authentication relies on what users know (like passwords) or have (like apps and codes).Unibeam’s technology, now deployed by Pelephone and Partner, authenticates based on who the device truly is.

It uses three built-in mobile identifiers:

SIM/eSIM serial number
Device ID
Mobile phone number

Together, they create a real-time, unforgeable identity signature — ensuring access only from verified devices.

The process is instant and transparent: A simple pop-up appears on the user’s phone asking for confirmation — no installation, no code entry, no user friction.

Security Meets Simplicity

The result? A revolutionary balance between convenience and protection.

No passwords or OTPs: Eliminates phishing, credential reuse, and password fatigue.
Zero user effort: No apps to download or configure.
Strong fraud prevention: Detects SIM swaps and device tampering instantly.
Faster access: Login and verification happen in seconds.

This SIM-level authentication is already in advanced adoption stages across Israel’s financial, insurance, and health-care sectors — all aiming to reduce fraud and elevate user trust.
