Commenting on the award, David Pope, European Marketing Director said, “We’re seeing great traction in the retail industry. Jumio’s Netswipe drastically cuts the time it takes customers to checkout from a minute right down to less than five seconds. As a result, merchants integrating Jumio are seeing up to a five times increased levels of conversion at point of checkout. We are delighted to be recognised for our efforts in driving the industry forward. ”
“Travelocity is the first travel app to implement innovative credit card scanning technology that uses the iPhone’s camera to read and enter the customer’s credit card information. This saves on-the-go travellers the hassle of tapping in the numbers on a mobile device. Consumers are offered the choice of entering their card information manually or by simply tapping ‘auto-scan credit card with camera’ and holding their credit card up to the phone camera for automated data .entry”, said Joshua Bright Product Manager Mobile at Travelocity.
The award recognised the following key benefits to Travelocity as a result of implementing Jumio’s Netswipe®:
- Massive uptake of customers using Netswipe® as their preference for payment authentication.
