Aduna and Vivo Collaborate to Elevate Brazil's Digital Landscape

In a significant development for Brazil's telecommunications industry, Aduna, a global aggregator specializing in standardized network APIs, has announced an expanded collaboration with Vivo, the country’s leading telecommunications provider. This partnership aims to advance the commercialization of network APIs across various sectors, marking a crucial step in enhancing the digital trust infrastructure in Brazil. With this initiative, Vivo is positioning itself at the forefront of Latin America's growing API economy.

Since 2024, Vivo has been actively implementing carrier-grade APIs, focusing initially on fraud prevention strategies within the financial sector. By partnering with key financial institutions, such as Daycoval Bank, Vivo has been at the forefront of combating digital fraud, thereby safeguarding user identities and streamlining authentication processes for millions of Brazilians.

Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna, highlighted the importance of this collaboration by stating, "Vivo is demonstrating how standardized network APIs can deliver real business value starting in financial services and now expanding into broader digital markets. This engagement reflects the accelerating demand for trusted, easy-to-integrate network capabilities that enhance security, efficiency, and user experience."

The partnership extends beyond mere business; it is part of a larger mission to fortify Brazil's networks as a reliable foundation for digital growth. Leonardo Silva, head of B2B’s Messaging, CPaaS, and Open Gateway initiatives at Vivo, emphasized this commitment, saying, "By working with Aduna, we can extend the reach of our capabilities into new sectors, simplifying integration for enterprises and strengthening the security of digital experiences."

Vivo's collaboration with Aduna aligns with a growing trend among global communications service providers, who are also engaging with Aduna to simplify enterprise access to critical network capabilities. Aduna serves as a neutral aggregator, allowing enterprises to tap into these capabilities through a single, secure, and standardized interface, which significantly reduces the time-to-market for trusted digital services.
