Jumio is an online mobile payments and identity verification company that provides ID scanning and validation products for mobile and web transactions.[1] The company provides card and ID scanning technology.[2]

History

The company was founded in 2010 by Daniel Mattes, who served as CEO until he resigned in April 2015 in conjunction with an internal board investigation.[3] In December 2015, Jumio informed its investors that financial results from 2013 and 2014 would be re-stated.[4]

In March 2016, the company stated that "Certain legacy issues combined with related government investigations and proceedings have made it difficult for Jumio to secure necessary funding for its operations." As a result, it was entering Chapter 11 restructuring proceedings.[5]

On May 6, 2016 Jumio was acquired by Centana Growth Partners, a VC specializing in technology companies with a focus on financial services[6] Over its history, the company raised $36.7 million from investors including Citi Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and others.[7]
