PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 6, 2017) - Jumio Corporation today announced that Q2 sales were up 87 percent year-over-year due to sales within the financial services sector, with large sales to major US banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and payment platforms. At the close of the quarter, Jumio was helping enterprise and financial services organizations convert more than 100 percent more customers on a daily basis than at the close of 2016.
Jumio created Netverify® Trusted Identity as a Service (TIaaS) to help enterprises deal with the estimated $16 billion cost of identity fraud in 2016. According to a study conducted by Javelin Strategy & Research this is a 16 percent increase over 2015. By successfully verifying the identity of nearly 200,000 consumers per day, Jumio ensures more businesses can KYC (know your customer), generating even more revenue.
"Our emergence as the dominant global leader in identity verification in less than 12 months of our acquisition by Centana Growth Partners demonstrates the completely new energy level and commitment to success by our new owners, our new executive team, and our exceptional employees," said Jumio President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Stuut. "We listened to our customers' identity verification problems and delivered a solution that is accurate, consistent, and affordable. Our performance this past year underscores just how important our solutions have become in helping our financial services, gaming, sharing economy, and compliance-driven customers manage digital transformation within their businesses."
In addition to traditional financial services institutions, Jumio continued its leadership within the digital challenger bank space, including deployment with Monzo, a digital, mobile-focused bank based in the United Kingdom. To better support its many US financial services customers, Jumio further announced the opening of its Wall Street office, located within a block of the New York Stock Exchange.
