Jumio has completed the Malaysian central bank’s (Bank Negara Malaysia) independent eKYC Breakthrough Assessment which found its biometric onboarding technology successfully met all criteria. The eKYC solution was tested for ID verification, facial recognition and biometric liveness detection. The first task included identifying fake and manipulated instances of the MyKad, the Malaysian National ID, while the other task tested matching user selfies against ID photos and preventing spoofing and deepfake attempts. The tests were conducted in accordance with Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM’s) EKYC policy document, and turned up zero findings of concern. The biometric identity verification firm says it hired Malaysian cybersecurity and assessment firm LGMS as an independent auditor.
