Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered identity intelligence, today announced the expansion of its reusable identity solution, selfie.DONE, across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

In regulated EMEA markets, organizations face the dual challenge of eliminating onboarding friction while adhering to stringent privacy standards and regulatory frameworks, including GDPR, PSD2, AMLD, and other evolving regulatory compliance requirements. selfie.DONE addresses this challenge with a privacy-focused, consent-based architecture. Instead of forcing enrolled users through repetitive ID document scans, selfie.DONE establishes a selfie-first fast lane that verifies trusted, enrolled identities instantly while performing required compliance checks behind the scenes in real time.

Unlike closed-loop identity wallets or identity networks restricted to affiliated businesses, Jumio’s approach to reusable identity is powered by its proprietary global, consent-based identity graph of over 75 million legitimate and fraudulent identities, which grows by approximately 85,000 identities daily. Every reuse decision is anchored in end-user consent and real-time re-verification — running fresh biometric matching and risk analysis rather than relying on cached static results.

"Bringing selfie.DONE to EMEA completes our worldwide rollout of our reusable identity solution, shifting the industry from static, point-in-time checks to continuous, connected, and contextual identity intelligence on a global scale," said Bala Kumar, president and CPTO at Jumio. "In markets where regulatory scrutiny and user expectations for friction-free digital experiences are equally high, selfie.DONE proves that conversion and compliance are not a trade-off. By putting explicit user consent and privacy at the core of our global identity graph, we empower businesses to instantly recognize trusted users while ensuring rigorous security and privacy standards."

Deployments have demonstrated selfie.DONE’s significant operational and commercial impact, driving up to a 20% increase in verification completion rates and enabling up to 60% of returning trusted users to complete verification document-free.

While serving as a key operational lever for gaming operators at SBC Summit Lisbon seeking to streamline player registration and re-verification, selfie.DONE applies equally across high-trust digital sectors, including financial services, fintech, crypto, marketplaces, and mobility.

DUBLIN, Calif. (AP) — A couple in their late 70s gunned down their son-in-law in a California city park over the weekend, authorities said, and court documents showed the victim had been in a bitter custody dispute with their daughter.

Jonathan McKinsey, a 40-year-old gaming engineer for The New York Times, was shot to death Saturday afternoon in the parking lot of a sports complex in Dublin, east of San Francisco. A police sergeant was driving nearby and saw him on the ground as witnesses began calling 911 and pointing out the couple, who were still near the scene, Dublin Police Services said in a news release.

Authorities arrested Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both 76 and from Dublin, on suspicion of murder and other charges. They were due to appear in court Wednesday morning. It was not immediately clear if either had obtained a lawyer, and phone numbers listed for their daughter, Candice Jang, were disconnected.

The killing occurred a week before a hearing was scheduled in McKinsey and Jang's divorce case. The couple had been married since about 2012 and had three young children, court records show.

Court records show that Jang reported McKinsey to police in 2023, accusing him of shoving one of their children and using rough physical discipline with them generally.

Last October, she obtained a domestic violence protection order against McKinsey after he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child abuse in another case. Police said he acknowledged having slapped one child and also charged him with endangering another. At the time of his killing, he was out on bail and had been trying to enter a mental health diversion program, the San Jose Mercury News reported.

McKinsey responded to his wife's court filing by requesting a domestic violence protection order against her and filing for divorce. He since had sought more time with the three children, noting that he had been limited to two hours of supervised visits per week since last fall, Alameda County court documents show.

In his petition for a protection order, McKinsey, who was transgender, alleged that Chen had directed anti-LGBTQ+ slurs at him and at one of their children, the Mercury News reported. He also accused Jang of being abusive during medical procedures related to his transition.

McKinsey joined The New York Times in January 2023. He was director of engineering for New York Times Games and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the paper said. A spokesperson declined to comment further.

Johnson reported from Seattle. Associated Press writer Olga R. Rodríguez in San Francisco contributed.

This story has been corrected to say both Zhang and Chen are 76, not 77. Authorities say they share a birthday of Sept. 30, 1949.
