When an end userClosed A person who is a customer, patient, constituent, or client of a Jumio customer, and who participates in the “customer journey” as part of their interaction with the Jumio customer. is using your website or mobile app to do something that could potentially be fraudulent, you can pass that person’s credentialsClosed A form of identification that is associated with an account.

Accounts, Credentials, and Transactions

When credentials are passed to Jumio, they are associated with an accountClosed A grouping of credentials and transactions associated with an end user.. If this is a new user you are onboarding, you create a new account and associate the credentials with it. If you want Jumio to perform some checks on a known user, you associate the credentials with an existing account.

The transaction applies credentials for the account to a workflow and contains the decision rendered by the workflow. that is associated with the account that the credentials belong to.

Workflows, Services, and Capabilities

Individual capabilities provide the reasons for determining the transaction decision. or sequence of capabilities. Each capability evaluates one or more credentials and renders a decisionClosed Each transaction renders a decision about the credentials that were evaluated. The decision includes one of the following values: PASSED; WARNING; REJECTED. It also includes a risk score. The value is based on the score. based on the likelihood of the credentials being fraudulent. The workflow renders an overall decision on the fraud risk based on all the intermediate decisions rendered by the capabilities. The decision may be one of:

  • PASSED
