Palo Alto, CA: Fast-growing mobile and online pay­ment com­pany Jumio Inc. today announced the release of an enhanced ver­sion of its Netswipe Mobile Soft­ware Devel­op­ment Kit (SDK) now with Boost 20/20℠. Adding this pay­ment func­tion­ality to an app’s checkout process drives a rev­enue boost of at least 20%, while only taking about 20 min­utes to imple­ment. Inte­gra­tion of the SDK is free, and Jumio has allo­cated $5 mil­lion in free scans for qual­i­fying developers.
 


Enabling cus­tomers to scan a credit card in 5 sec­onds rather than attempting key entry on their mobile devices (taking an average of 50 sec­onds) sig­nif­i­cantly reduces cus­tomer drop-off at this crit­ical point in the pur­chase process. Today, nearly half of all mobile trans­ac­tions are not suc­cess­fully com­pleted at checkout; how­ever, when cus­tomers are offered a card scan­ning option the pay­ment com­ple­tion ratio increases dra­mat­i­cally. Addi­tion­ally, Jumio’s enhanced SDK offers improved card reading per­for­mance and auto-focus, more secu­rity fea­tures and branding con­fig­ura­bility for mer­chants. Card scan­ning is now avail­able for Visa, Mas­ter­Card, Diners Club, Amer­ican Express and Dis­cover cards. 



For devel­opers, incor­po­rating the SDK into their apps is an easy-to-execute process which is sup­ported with com­plete online doc­u­men­ta­tion. Jumio Founder and CEO Daniel Mattes elab­o­rates: “Imple­menting the SDK takes less than 20 min­utes, and for the revenue-focused devel­oper this brief effort delivers an amazing ROI. We’re grat­i­fied to see how pop­ular it has become with a wide range of developers.”
 


Jumio sup­ports start-ups and the devel­oper com­mu­nity with 500 free scans per month until the $5 mil­lion Jumio SDK Devel­oper Fund is depleted. Larger-volume devel­opers should con­tact the com­pany to learn more. The Netswipe Mobile SDK is avail­able for down­load at the Netswipe Devel­oper Site.
