Bridge Alliance, a leading mobile alliance, has announced a significant expansion of its telco API ecosystem, now covering Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand. By partnering with top local operators, the alliance has achieved over 90% API market coverage in these regions. This expansion allows enterprises and developers to create and monetise new digital services using secure, standardised telco APIs available on the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx).
The integration of APIs such as Number Verify and SIM Swap will enable seamless verification services crucial for financial and retail sectors. “Lighting up key markets is a pivotal moment in our journey to democratise access to telecom network capabilities,” said Dr Ong Geok Chwee, CEO of Bridge Alliance. The expansion positions Bridge Alliance at the forefront of the region’s telco API ecosystem, promoting open innovation.
Bridge Alliance is also collaborating with new API channel partners, including Alibaba, Infobip, and 8×8, to accelerate enterprise adoption. These partnerships aim to enhance developer engagement and commercialisation across specific enterprise verticals. Alibaba will offer telco APIs to address Artificially Inflated Traffic fraud, whilst Infobip and 8×8 will focus on secure authentication and fraud prevention.
Looking ahead, Bridge Alliance plans to expand BAEx into additional markets in 2026 and introduce new API categories like Know Your Customer and fraud prevention signals. This ongoing expansion will drive open innovation and deliver more value to operators, enterprises, and developers across the Asia Pacific region.
