Rabobank Identity Services - SMS OTP

SMS OTP API is an offering of Rabo Identity Services that allows businesses to verify a mobile phone number of their users by sending a One-Time Password (OTP). 

SMS OTP Flow

  1. A user wants to access the merchant's website, which requires identification or authentication.
  2. The user enters the mobile phone number in the web application and receives a validation code (OTP) through SMS.
  3. The user enters in the validation code (OTP) in the web application.
  4. The merchant receives the verified mobile phone number in the response from Rabobank.

The SMS OTP API can be consumed as a standalone service. However, it is generally applied as an additional layer on top of another method, such as MFA.
