PALO ALTO, CA and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2016) - Jumio, the leading digital ID verification company, today announced record results for Q2 2016, with a greater than 65 percent growth in recurring revenue year-over-year, and a record 30 million transactions completed to-date. Jumio's customer base continues to expand, closing more deals than at any other time in company history, with Q2 2016 resulting in a more than 50 percent increase in deals year-over-year. This high momentum has been fueled by continued growth across every aspect of its business.
These results are not only indicative of the company's continued innovation; they also demonstrate the widespread demand across core verticals for a trusted ID verification solution.

"The ID verification space is seeing rapid growth and Jumio continues to lead the market as it addresses the issues and challenges facing many businesses today," said Ben Cukier, Partner, Centana Growth Partners. "With the continued growth of web and mobile transactions, companies must ensure that online customers are who they say they are. As fraud continues to expand, the ability for customers to conduct safe and secure transactions will remain a key issue."
