Jumio Raises $15 Million from its New Owner, Centana Growth Partners

Jumio Raises $15 Million from its New Owner, Centana Growth Partners

Credentials-management company Jumio pulled in $15 million this week. The funding comes from Millennium Technology Value Partners and Centana Growth Partners, the private equity firm that purchased Jumio for $850,000 in May of this year after Jumio declared bankruptcy two months prior.

The funding brings Jumio’s total raised to almost $52 million. The company expects the funding will “extend its leadership position in the digital ID verification space, aggressively expand its sales and marketing efforts, and accelerate product development and international expansion.” The Palo Alto-based company offers three solutions that speed the online checkout process:

  • Fastfill, an ID-scanning app that automatically fills in information on forms
  • BAM Checkout, which integrates credit card and driver-license scanning into mobile checkout in order to eliminate friction
  • Netverify, which remotely scans documents to verify a consumer’s identity.

Jumio experienced a record-breaking second quarter this year. The company saw 65% growth in recurring YOY revenue, experienced a more than 50% increase in deals YOY, and closed more deals than any other time in its six-year history. Since launching in 2010 Jumio has facilitated 30 million transactions. Additionally, the company’s customer base has continued to expand.

In July of this year, Spanish crypto-currency company Krypto Commerce tapped Jumio for its AML and KYC services. At FinovateEurope 2015, the company won Best of Show for demoing how NetVerify simplifies the account-opening process.

Jumio to Power KYC & AML Services for Krypto Commerce

Jumio to Power KYC & AML Services for Krypto Commerce

Mobile authentication company Jumio announced this week it will provide anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) services for Krypto Commerce.

The Spanish crypto-currency company will use Jumio’s NetVerify to validate applicant identities for its new PoolMiner’s card, an online-only prepaid debit card for crypto-currencies. Rubén Arcas, project director at Krypto Commerce said that while “compliance and security are critical to our proposition,” he doesn’t want to compromise by offering “a clunky verification system that doesn’t provide a good user experience.” Arcas goes on to say that Jumio, which accepts IDs from 200+ global territories, is perfect for Krypto Commerce’s needs.

The new card is available to users in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, South America, Russia, and will soon be open to U.S. users. New applicants scan their passports and answer a few questions to confirm identity.

Palo Alto-based Jumio demoed NetVerify at FinovateEurope 2015 in London. Presenters David Pope and John McIntosh showed how scanning a government-issued ID facilitates the onboarding process. The company announced last month that NetVerify is powering identity verification for Switzerland-based bob Finance, which enables clients to check their credit score for free.
