Jumio’s online identity verification solutions enhance Copper River IT’s services to compliantly vet new users, simplify account onboarding and dramatically reduce online fraud
Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and eKYC solutions, today announced a partnership with Copper River IT, a leading provider of program-focused advanced network/systems engineering solutions and enterprise support services serving the public and education sectors. Together, they will deliver online identity verification services that help government agencies and the public sector optimize online conversions, deter fraud and meet KYC, AML and data privacy requirements within an intuitive digital banking experience.
Copper River IT is 100% owned by the Native Village of Eyak and is a federally recognized tribal government that promotes self-determination to its tribal members. Copper River is designated as a small disadvantaged business, and a graduate of the SBA 8(a) Program, offering a number of key procurement advantages to federal agencies. Copper River IT has strong relationships with a number of federal agencies including the departments of Transportation, Homeland Security and Defense, but also serves other state, local and education (SLED) organizations including DC.gov, County of Fairfax (Virginia), City of Alexandria, Old Dominion University, Hughes Aerospace Corporation and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
With this partnership, Copper River IT can add Jumio’s online identity verification and KYX Platform capabilities to enhance the onboarding experience and fraud detection capabilities of public sector organizations. The partnership leverages the companies’ collective strengths and expertise in:
- Expediting the digital transformation initiatives of SLED and public sector organizations with remote identity verification and biometric-based authentication services
- Reducing the amount of fraud associated with legacy and data-based approaches to identity verification which are no longer considered best practices
- Developing digital identity proofing solutions that leverage highly resilient and scalable technologies
“The core mission of any government or public sector organization is to protect public well-being and deliver services to citizens and stakeholders, while carefully stewarding taxpayers’ dollars. This starts with reliably establishing the digital identities of these remote users to ensure that you know, with a high level of assurance, that they are who they claim to be,” said Dean Hickman-Smith, Jumio’s chief revenue officer. “This alliance enables Jumio to help Copper River’s federal and SLED customers identify end users while simultaneously improving onboarding conversion rates, dramatically reducing online fraud and meeting increasingly stringent compliance mandates.”
“We’re helping our enterprise customers embrace digital transformation while deriving maximum value from their current network infrastructure investment,” said Bill Halladay, Copper River IT president. ”We’re super excited about this partnership with Jumio since it enables us to provide essential identity proofing services that help mitigate fraud, reduce compliance risk and enhance the organization’s security reputation — all within an intuitive user experience.”
