Jumio Extends True Reusable Identity to APAC with selfie.DONE™, Powered by Global Identity Graph

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 14, 2026--

Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered identity intelligence, today announced the launch of its reusable identity solution, selfie.DONE, across the Asia-Pacific region. This expansion marks the next phase of Jumio’s global rollout, bringing a selfie-first onboarding experience to APAC following successful launches in Latin America and North America.

With selfie.DONE, the traditional reliance on starting every onboarding flow with an ID document is no longer necessary. By leveraging a global, consented identity graph, businesses can instantly recognize enrolled, trusted users with just a selfie, reserving document scans for only when needed. This approach acts as a fast lane for trusted identities while ensuring that anyone the system cannot confidently recognize — or who presents risk — remains subject to full, rigorous verification. This allows regulated organizations to reduce onboarding friction without compromising the rigorous security standards or compliance requirements necessary to operate with confidence.

Reusable identity has demonstrated a significant impact on conversion rates and platform resilience. Deployments have shown that selfie.DONE can drive a 20% increase in verification completion rates, with up to 60% of users successfully completing document-free, selfie-based verifications.

Unlike closed-loop identity wallets or identity networks restricted to affiliated businesses, Jumio’s approach is powered by continuous, cross-customer intelligence. Every verification contributes to Jumio’s global identity graph, which contains over 75 million legitimate and fraudulent identities and grows by approximately 85,000 identities per day. This connected intelligence allows organizations across APAC, from financial services firms and crypto exchanges to gaming and sharing economy platforms, to recognize trusted users instantly, regardless of where they were originally verified, while ensuring fresh risk analysis on every transaction.

"The launch of selfie.DONE in APAC marks a pivotal milestone in our mission to redefine digital trust," said Bala Kumar, president and CPTO at Jumio. "With the region’s dynamic, mobile-first economy, the demand for frictionless, high-assurance onboarding has never been higher. By introducing selfie.DONE to the region, we’re helping organizations shift from point-in-time verification to a model of continuous, contextual, and connected identity intelligence, enabling them to instantly recognize trusted users and turn identity verification from a friction point into a competitive advantage."

As companies across the Asia-Pacific region prepare to adopt more agile KYC methods, industry leaders are identifying new opportunities to enhance their digital strategies.

Nimbura, a Malaysia-based financial technology platform that connects consumers with digital lending and financing solutions online, is closely monitoring the impact of Jumio’s latest expansion as it continues to build a trusted digital ecosystem.

“In digital lending, reducing onboarding friction can have a meaningful impact on customer conversion, provided security and compliance remain uncompromised,” said Artjoms Borcovs, CEO for Asia at Nimbura. “selfie.DONE has significant potential to simplify the experience for trusted customers through selfie-first verification, while continuing to assess identity risk in real time. We are looking forward to seeing how this approach can improve both customer experience and operational efficiency at Nimbura.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso returned to Citi Field on Monday night with the Baltimore Orioles on the verge of his 300th home run and received a warm reception from New York Mets fans.

“So many good memories here — I played with so many good people, talented people,” Alonso said before the game. “It’s going to be interesting to see what emotions kind of bubble up, because you never can anticipate things that happen.”

Alonso, warming up along the third base line, tipped his hat following a nearly two-minute tribute video shortly before first pitch. Minutes later, Alonso, batting second, stepped to the plate and received another thunderous ovation as the scoreboard read “Welcome Back, Pete!”

Alonso again tipped his cap before flying out to right. The crowd then began yelling “Fire Stearns,!” a chant aimed at Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns.

Alonso entered Monday hitting .269 with 35 homers, an AL-high 100 RBIs and an .863 OPS for the last-place Orioles. He had a 4.1 fWAR while his Mets replacements were at minus-0.4.

He left the Mets after the 2025 season as a free agent to sign a $155 million, five-year contract with Baltimore. New York, which didn't push to re-sign him, began the night on the verge of postseason elimination.

“I respect their decision — the guys running the team, it’s their prerogative to do whatever they think is best for them,” Alonso said. “Two things can be true at the same time: I’m very happy and appreciative of my time I spent as a Met and I’m beyond grateful and appreciative for the Baltimore Orioles.”

Fans sporting Alonso’s old No. 20 with the Mets cheered and chanted his name during batting practice. Alonso exchanged greetings with former teammate Jose Iglesias as well as Mets owner Steve Cohen and his wife, Alex.

The Mets made the playoffs twice with Alonso. He was drafted by the Mets and hit a team record 264 homers, topping Darryl Strawberry.

“I appreciate all the support and people keeping up,” Alonso, said. “I care so much about leaving it all on the field, pouring all the emotion I have and emptying the tank every night. And I’m glad that people appreciated that.”

Alonso entered Monday with 299 career homers, the same number as friend and former teammate Francisco Lindor. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Alonso could become just the third player to his 300th career homer against a team for whom he played in 1,000 or more games.

Willie Horton hit his 300th career homer against the Detroit Tigers in 1979 while Torii Hunter did so for the Tigers against the Minnesota Twins in 2013.

“I know ‘Paco’ is chasing down that same milestone, so it’d be really cool if both of us could do it in the same game,” Alonso said. “That’d really be sick.”
