Identity Verification for American Messaging

Who texted me?

A question every American has asked. Until now, no one had a trustworthy answer.

Billions of dollars of compliance infrastructure exist to vet who sends messages across America. None of it is visible to the person receiving them. Atesta is building the identity layer that was always missing — so consumers finally know who is contacting them.

The first verified identity layer for American business messaging
The Problem

The infrastructure was built for networks. Not for people.

Every major carrier, every messaging platform, and every enterprise compliance system operates an extensive framework designed to vet business-to-consumer messaging traffic. Short codes are registered. Campaigns are approved. Numbers are verified. Brands are credentialed.

The consumer sees none of it. When a message arrives from an unfamiliar number claiming to be a bank, a pharmacy, a government agency, or a delivery service, the person holding the phone has exactly one tool available: their own judgment. Against increasingly sophisticated fraud operations, that is not enough.

Atesta changes this. We are building the identity layer that makes the invisible visible — verified sender identity that consumers can see, brands can claim, and carriers can stand behind.

One platform. Three constituencies.

For the Ecosystem

The identity layer the industry has always needed

A neutral, domestic identity registry that serves carriers, CSPs, and the entire messaging infrastructure — without competing with any of them.

  • Cross-channel identity across SMS, RCS, toll free, and voice
  • Real-time trust scores for carrier filtering decisions
  • Fraud intelligence graph built on network-wide signal
  • US-owned, domestically operated, neutral infrastructure

The messaging compliance ecosystem was built to protect networks. Nobody built it to protect people. Atesta makes the invisible visible — real-time, cross-channel, verified sender identity that consumers can see and trust, brands can claim, and carriers can stand behind.
