Jumio and ASAPP Partner to deliver eKYC and Remote Onboarding Services for the Canadian Credit Union Market

Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and eKYC solutions, and ASAPP Financial Technology, Canada’s most complete omnichannel experience platform, today announced their new strategic partnership in connection with the upcoming ASAPP 11.0 release.

ASAPP 11.0, launching later this year, will include significant user experience and user interface enhancements that continue to support and elevate ASAPP’s unique omnichannel account and lending origination solution. As part of this series of enhancements, ASAPP selected Jumio for its cutting-edge biometrics and AI solutions for online identity verification. With the introduction of Jumio’s industry leading technology, ASAPP will now deliver the capability for Canadian credit unions to meet FINTRAC KYC and AML compliance through the real-time scanning of provincial drivers’ licenses or Canadian passports.

“We are very excited to partner with ASAPP and bring our biometrics solution to Canadian credit unions,” said Dean Hickman-Smith, Jumio’s chief revenue officer. “As Canadian credit unions continue to embrace digital transformation, driven by both the expectations of their members and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, ASAPP, powered with Jumio, delivers the ability to open new accounts and lending products anytime, anywhere and in a matter of minutes.”

After reviewing solution options and undertaking a technical deep dive with the Jumio team, ASAPP chose Jumio due to its ability to combine biometrics and AI technology and deliver results in a matter of seconds.  

“ASAPP’s mission is to partner with Canadian financial institutions as they compete against direct-to-consumer fintech solutions,” said Steve Sauve, ASAPP’s chief product officer. “With Jumio we are able to deliver a broader range of innovative identity verification options, including rapid biometric identification, and support our credit union Client-Partners. Our team is well underway with development and we will be delivering the solution in-market this December.”

Jumio’s technology will also be featured at ASAPP’s upcoming fall Partner Forum, including a virtual demo.
