Airbnb Partners With Jumio to Help Power New Identification Verification Product
May 2013 by Marc Jacob
Jumio, Inc. announced that Airbnb, the world’s leading marketplace for booking, discovering, and listing unique spaces around the world, has integrated Jumio’s Netverify into its new Verified Identification tool. Jumio powers the offline identification portion of Airbnb’s new tool, enabling users to quickly scan and verify their government-issued photo ID. The new product is designed to increase transparency and provide users in the Airbnb community with information that may be valuable to them in making their decisions.
Using their computer cameras and Netverify, Airbnb users can now scan an image of their government-issued photo ID as part of the ID verification process. Jumio is currently integrated into the Airbnb web sign-up process, and will be launching on Airbnb’s mobile app in the near future.
Jumio’s Netverify enables businesses with online and mobile distribution to meet KYC and ID verification requirements through real-time scanning, and validation of government-issued IDs from over 60 countries. Netverify also scans a range of other documents such as bank statements and utility bills used for address verification or other purposes.
Netverify is available for web sites and on iPhone and Android, enabling mobile applications to add ID and document scanning to their customer experiences.
