More security, less friction: The alliance aims to improve access to a solution aligned with the region’s most stringent regulatory standards, without adding operational complexity.
Prometeo, the leading fintech company specializing in the development of technology infrastructure, and Jumio, the leader in AI-powered identity intelligence anchored in biometric authentication, automation and data-driven insights, have announced a strategic alliance that combines the best of their technologies. Together, they offer a more robust and secure solution for identity authentication and bank account validation across the region.
This integration provides fintechs, digital banks, payment gateways, online gaming platforms, and e-commerce companies, among other sectors, with access to a unified solution that simplifies key processes such as user onboarding and payment reconciliation. By combining identity verification and account validation into a single access point, it becomes possible to reduce operational times, prevent fraud, and deliver a faster and more secure user experience.
“This alliance allows us to offer stronger bank account validation, a key element in any authentication process. We’re no longer just confirming whether an account exists — we’re also verifying who’s behind it, which redefines how fintechs and digital companies build fast and efficient onboarding processes,” said Roberto Gaudelli, commercial director at Prometeo. “We’re proud to reach this milestone, which adds an extra layer of security and trust for our clients.”
This collaboration represents a significant step forward for the financial ecosystem: a modular, integrated solution that addresses real challenges in digital onboarding. Through a single flow, organizations in Latin America will be able to verify that an account truly belongs to the applicant and validate their identity using biometrics. This translates into faster processes, higher conversion rates, and compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards.
“Connecting our best-in-class biometric verification technology with the largest banking network in Latin America not only delivers a more complete solution to the market, it also raises the bar for security and efficiency. This alliance integrates advanced AI capabilities, data analytics, and user behavior interpretation, elements that truly make a difference and allow us to offer a robust, intelligent solution designed to tackle one of the region’s biggest challenges,” said Pilar Pereira, strategic alliances manager for Latin America at Jumio.
Key benefits of the alliance include:
- Simultaneous identity and bank account verification in a single flow.
- Reduced fraud risk and improved detection of suspicious activity.
- Compliance with local and international regulations.
- Scalable, agile solution adaptable to organizations of all sizes.
By joining forces, Prometeo and Jumio are raising the bar for verification in Latin America and setting a new regional benchmark. This alliance strengthens business models that demand agility, security, and scalability, benefiting clients who seek robust, efficient, and frictionless user experiences.
