MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 18, 2012) - Jumio's scanning technology will be integrated into tech company JMango's mobile application and development platform as part of a new partnership.
Jumio's verification technology enables online merchants to instantly authenticate customer IDs or verify their credit card with a simple camera scan using a standard mobile camera or computer webcam. Requiring customers to display their actual credit card or ID virtually eliminates the risk of fraud and makes verification secure, simple and seamless for the customer.
As a technology partner, JMango will enhance and extend the reach of Jumio's verification technology to all major mobile operating systems by integrating Jumio's verification technology into the JMango mobile development platform. The first SDKs developed by JMango will also be released and available in a few short weeks.
JMango has also agreed to become a primary reseller of Jumio's verification technology and expects to announce several new deals shortly.
