Jumio Launches Face Match to Enable More Reliable Customer Verification
September 2013 by Marc Jacob
Jumio, Inc. announced the launch of its Face Match technology, a new capability available within its Netverify identity verification platform. This new capability helps Jumio’s Netverify customers assess the extent to which a photo on an ID presented during a mobile or online transaction matches the customer’s actual face. In turn, businesses can more effectively and easily identify customers and protect against fraudulent activity.
Businesses using Netverify with Face Match add two "primary source" authentication factors to their account origination or transaction security protocols. In addition to standard username and password (something you know), Jumio adds scanning and validation of original ID credentials (something you have) and Face Match (something you are) to deliver a comprehensive, near real-time consumer authentication experience.
Jumio customers have the option to activate Face Match as a feature within Netverify to provide an additional layer of protection for all transactions or selectively apply to higher-risk customers or transactions.
Netverify integrates into consumer-facing apps or websites to scan and validate passports, driver licenses and ID cards issued by over 90 countries and eliminates the need to handle and store paper records. The new Face Match authentication factor is designed to detect transaction attempts made with stolen or manipulated credentials.
