JUMIO HELPS BUSINESSES STAY AHEAD OF FAST-EVOLVING THREAT LANDSCAPE WITH DRAMATICALLY ENHANCED KYX PLATFORM



Integrated orchestration hub puts power in the hands of business users with the most robust portfolio of data sources, customizable rules engine and analytics to defend against fraud at the speed of business


LAS VEGAS, Oct 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jumio, the leading provider of end-to-end identity proofing, risk assessment and eKYC/AML compliance solutions, today unveiled at Money20/20 USA its extended Jumio KYX Platform, with an integrated orchestration hub benefiting from the company’s acquisition of 4Stop. The platform streamlines fraud and eKYC/AML compliance management with the intuitive one-stop orchestration hub, which brings together global data, risk signals, real-time analytics, actionable insights and a configurable rules engine to help businesses defend against fraud without compromising user experience. With over one billion identity, risk and AML transactions completed for over 1,000 organizations in more than 200 countries and territories, Jumio is delivering on its promise to eradicate online identity fraud and accelerate digital trust for all.

Organizations today must detect and respond to increasingly sophisticated fraud attacks quickly and accurately to reduce business impact while also maintaining customer trust. According to recent global Jumio research, 80% of consumers prefer the assurances delivered by digital identity verification measures when choosing online brands.

Unfortunately, many organizations rely on a plethora of point solutions to evaluate the fraud risk across the user journey. This creates friction in the onboarding process and can lead to transaction abandonment. The ever-present threat of new fraud vectors and constant change of compliance mandates across the globe complicate the organization’s ability to keep up, forcing them to deploy considerable internal resources to manage fraud and compliance.

“Businesses’ ability to effectively manage fraud by stitching together myriad point solutions is no longer sustainable amidst increasingly robust attacks and IT resource constraints,” said David Mattei, strategic advisor at Aite-Novarica Group. “In addition to enabling organizations to fight fraud in real time as the threat landscape evolves, orchestration platforms provide greater agility to respond to fraud and are simple to use. In fact, our research shows that global fraud executives whose fraud solutions are integrated were two times more likely to report that managing fraud was ‘somewhat to very easy’ versus those whose fraud tools were not integrated.”

The Jumio KYX Platform helps businesses know and trust their users, players, patients — whoever the “X” is in their business — online. Its intuitive orchestration hub assists professionals tasked with protecting the organization and its customers from fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes during account onboarding, authentication and ongoing transaction processes.

The platform includes:
  • Identity Proofing with Expanded Risk Signals
    • Jumio’s market-leading ID Verification, Identity Verification and Document Verification capabilities significantly enhanced to detect sophisticated ID/document manipulation
    • An extensive portfolio of globally trusted data sources for added assurance when evaluating risk across the user journey
    • Name, address, phone, email and device risk signals to provide additional assurance and support compliance
  • Fully Integrated Orchestration Hub
    • An enterprise-grade dashboard that presents business-critical information in a custom visual format with options to deep dive into data, including:
      • Access to 500+ global data sources for identity proofing, risk assessment and eKYC/AML compliance
      • Real-time analytics and actionable insights to help business users respond to threats
      • Easy and customizable consolidated fraud and compliance views along with enhanced visualizations/reporting
  • Self-service Rules Engine
    • Customizable workflows allow business users to tailor their processes according to their unique use cases across industry verticals
    • The industry’s most extensive library of 800+ pre-configured rules help business users jump start their fraud defense and edit and apply rules in real-time – without waiting weeks or months for their technical teams to implement them
  • Industry-leading Data and Intelligence
    • Backed by the largest and most comprehensive network of global data
    • Leverages industry-leading Al algorithms to automate the verification processes, remove bias and detect fraud faster and with greater accuracy
“Our customers trust us to safely and quickly move their money around the globe,” said Tom Mazzaferro, Western Union chief data & innovation officer. “Whether they want to transfer money via the Western Union app, or at our retail locations, Jumio helps us to minimize fraud, maintain eKYC compliance standards from a single platform and improve overall customer experience. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Jumio as we launch new products and services to serve the needs of our customers even better, while improving their overall experience.”

“By putting business users at the center of the verification process and providing them with a holistic view of incoming threats as they occur, Jumio allows organizations to bypass the standard set-up of disparate point solutions that slow down the ability to fight fraud and serve customers,” said Bala Kumar, Jumio chief product officer. “With Jumio, businesses save time and money while effectively defending against fraud at the speed of business.”

“The new innovations and scope of Jumio’s extended KYX Platform is proof of our unwavering commitment to eliminating digital fraud,” said Robert Prigge, Jumio CEO. “Jumio continues to lead the industry with solutions powered by AI, biometrics and other innovations that help organizations outpace tech-driven fraud advancements, which are expanding in terms of volume, origin and sophistication.”

MILLIKEN & COMPANY COMMITS TO NET-ZERO FUTURE

SBTi verifies company’s net-zero science-based target by 2050

SPARTANBURG, S.C., Oct 20 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Diversified global manufacturer Milliken & Company announces its science-based net-zero targets have been approved by the U.N.-backed Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi is a collective of international organizations dedicated to helping companies set emission reduction targets consistent with climate science and the Paris Agreement.
 
 
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221019005053/en/ 


“At Milliken, sustainability is a core value,” shares Halsey Cook, president and CEO of Milliken & Company. “Climate change is placing pressure on communities, on companies and on our planet. The time to take meaningful action is now.” 

SBTi calculates that companies committed to cutting emissions in line with climate science now represent $38 trillion — one-third — of the global economy. Milliken is one of the first 50 companies globally to achieve approved science-based net-zero targets and joins a group of more than 1,300 companies who have made net-zero commitments using the 2021 SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Milliken is the first company to be approved in South Carolina, where Milliken’s global headquarters is located. 

“Not all net-zero is the same, which is why Milliken commits to reaching real net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050 from a 2018 base year,” says Kasel Knight, general counsel and head of sustainability at Milliken. “By working with SBTi, our net-zero commitment, along with our approved near-term and long-term targets, has been fully vetted by the best available science on a global scale.” 

“We’re proud Milliken is leading this work,” concludes Cook. “Our targets empower our team of more than 8,000 to reduce risk, minimize impacts, work efficiently, control costs and identify new ways to deliver products.”

COUNTRY GARDEN FOREST CITY GOLF RESORT CLASSIC COURSE RANKED 49TH IN ASIA’S TOP 100 COURSES LIST

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- The Country Garden Forest City Golf Resort Classic Course has been ranked 49th in the 6th Asia's Top 100 Courses list, with only four golf courses in Malaysia having received the invaluable recognition.

Forest City Golf Resort comprises two international standard golf courses and a five-star Golf Hotel that serves as the clubhouse in the centre of the resort, according to a statement.

Opened in 2018, the Legacy Course was designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack Nicklaus II.

The course features scrubby, sandy wastelands and has a desert-inspired concept surrounded by mangroves and natural water.

The Classic Course was designed by Liang Guokun (LGK), a veteran Chinese golf course designer with 30 years of experience in landscape architecture.

The LGK design concept outlines the natural and connected lakes to provide water for irrigation and add a sense of movement.

Since Forest City greatly emphasises the sustainability of lawn maintenance, the golf course is maintained at a high level, providing golfers with a better experience.

In the future, Forest City will continue to maintain the high quality of the golf course and make Forest City Golf Resort a tourist card of Johor Bahru.

AM BEST AFFIRMS CREDIT RATINGS OF DAH SING INSURANCE COMPANY

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) of Hong Kong’s Dah Sing Insurance Company (1976) Ltd (DSI).

The outlook of these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, according to a statement.

The ratings reflect DSI’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

It also reflects the parental support from Dah Sing Financial Holdings Ltd (DSFH) in terms of capital, brand recognition, business development, product distribution, risk management and operations.

As measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, DSI’s risk-adjusted capitalisation remains at the strongest level.

The company’s equity investment exposure is higher than its peers after a large capital injection from DSFH in 2017. 

DSI reported a material decline of HKD234.5 million (US$30 million) in capital and surplus in the first half of 2022, mainly due to a plunge in the market value of DSI’s equity portfolio (US$1=RM4.73).

AM Best expects the company to implement robust investment selection and diversification strategies, as well as appropriate investment controls, to mitigate the high investment risk exposure.

As a small to a medium-sized player in Hong Kong’s non-life insurance segment, DSI maintained a market share of approximately one per cent, with a gross premium written of HKD604 million in 2021.
