Hello Soda launches single API platform; Sodium
Global identity specialist, Hello Soda, launches a new single API platform to simplify the delivery of its suite of Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-money Laundering (AML) and fraud prevention solutions.
Hello Soda identified that many stakeholders were having difficulty implementing multiple identity verification solutions independently. Its developers have responded to this challenge and the lack of cross-solution data analysis to help perform enhanced checks with the launch of Sodium.
Sodium is a single API platform that enables seamless integration with all of Hello Soda’s automated and global KYC and AML solutions.

Sodium has been designed and built by a multi-lingual team of ID and data science specialists across the globe. This new platform will further enhance the difference Hello Soda brings to global and local businesses and economies where traditional verification methods cannot be achieved.
This game-changing platform now enables organisations to not only add multiple ID&V products seamlessly but it cross-references data to perform additional checks leading to a truly enhanced customer due diligence (EDD). From document ID data cross-referenced with the dark web to an individual’s social footprint compared to CRA data, Sodium certainly delivers a multi-pronged approach to identity verification.
Hello Soda’s identity verification solutions are truly global with their products being used across a wide range of sectors in 177 countries. Sodium will enable Hello Soda to extend its reach and the continued growth globally of this innovative business.
James Blake, CEO of Hello Soda said: “We’re extremely proud of what we’ve developed with this new single API platform. Sodium will enable us to continue our global growth, and speed up the thousands of checks we carry out every day to keep customers and companies going.
“We work with businesses all over the world, and are currently growing our client base in Latin America and Asia, and are making ID verification more accessible in Africa. That’s thanks to our suite of solutions and new API platform that makes it possible to verify anyone, anywhere in the world. It’s fantastic to see us improving digital security in so many countries throughout the world.”
Hello Soda works across a wide range of regulated and non-regulated sectors where user and customer identity checks are needed. Some of their global clients include Blockchain, eToro, Klarna, Paysafe, and Sun Finance.

RotoWire Launches “Picks & Props” App
RotoWire.com, a leading provider of expert sports news and advice, has launched its latest innovation: the “Picks & Props” app. Unveiled within the app store earlier this month, it is now easier than ever to stay up to date on recommendations and predictions for all fantasy pick’em and players props from any mobile or tablet device.
“The Fantasy Pick’em and legal Player Props betting market has had explosive growth and we’ve seen strong user demand for RotoWire’s leading player news and information for these products. We’re excited to launch the Picks & Props app that gives players access to the top recommendations for all the leading Fantasy platforms and major sportsbooks based on RotoWire’s projections, lineups and player news,” said Peter Schoenke, Co-Founder of RotoWire and former Chairman of the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association.
Capitalizing on the surge and substantial growth seen recently within the fantasy Pick’em market segment, total traffic to RotoWire’s “Picks & Props” tool on its website has increased by 266% in the last 9 months, prompting the need to build a standalone app.
The mobile app delivers an extensive array of real time recommendations and information across all fantasy sports. It also includes lines from all the major fantasy and sports betting platforms to ensure users have a fast and convenient way to access recommended fantasy sports picks and predictions. To make projections for every play in every major sport the app combines four key prediction factors: Lines set by Sportsbooks; recommendations from Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Pick’em Sites; RotoWire Projections; Hit Rate.
By analyzing markets from leading sportsbooks and DFS platforms, comparing them to RotoWire projections, and assessing historical performance, the app generates a score ranging from -100 (strong lean toward LESS) to +100 (strong lean toward MORE). Each prediction factor has its own rating and is assigned a “weight” that gives it the impact on the total score. Additionally, the app provides users with real time updates on injuries and playing time by leveraging RotoWire’s comprehensive fantasy and sports data. Furthermore, its intuitive and streamlined user interface ensures seamless navigation and user comfort when accessing the app via any mobile device.
